What’s Kia’s Genuine Parts Warranty?

Kia guarantees the reliability of any genuine replacement part you purchase under its warranty program. Genuine parts installed at our dealership are covered for 12 months or 20,000 kilometres. This includes:

  • Audio Systems
  • DVD Systems 
  • Genuine Accessories 

If you get any of these genuine parts installed in a brand new Kia before retail delivery, the warranty period lasts for 36 months or 60,000 kilometres. This ensures you drive away with peace of mind knowing that if anything does go wrong, we have you covered.

Kia Genuine Replacement Battery Warranty Length

If you get a genuine replacement battery installed at our dealership, it will be covered for 24 months from the date it was installed. However, if you have the parts installed prior to retail delivery, the warranty period is 36 months. The warranty does not apply to a discharged battery caused by lights being left unattended.

Parts Not Covered Under Kia Warranty

Any non-genuine Kia part installed on your vehicle is not covered by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) warranty. Other cases where the warranty doesn’t apply include:

  • Instances where you can’t provide proof of purchase or date when the replacement part was installed
  • Any parts that were damaged due to improper use, neglect, accidents, or environmental hazards
  • Parts that deteriorate from normal wear and tear

Third Party Parts

While it might be cheaper to purchase third-party parts, they may not be the perfect fit for your Kia and can limit its performance. These parts also aren’t covered under Kia’s parts warranty. If these parts cause your vehicle any damage while being installed or afterwards, you will have to pay for repairs and replacements out of your own pocket.

Other Kia Warranty Coverage

Kia doesn’t just provide coverage for genuine parts. You can enjoy comprehensive coverage of nearly the entire vehicle, including:

  • Powertrain - 5 years/100,000 km
  • Hybrid, Plug-In Hybrid, Electric Vehicle Components - 8 years/150,000 km 
  • 24/7 Roadside Assistance - 5 years / unlimited mileage
