What's Not Covered by a Kia Powertrain Warranty?
Like most powertrain warranties, the Kia powertrain warranty does not pay for the following three categories:
- Regular wear and tear
- Accidents of any kind
- Interval maintenance
You could think of the Kia Powertrain Limited Warranty like health insurance: It's your job to take care of your body with good food and exercise – in your car's case, that's oil changes, fluid flushes, filter swaps, and the like – but your insurance (or your Kia powertrain warranty) kicks in to prevent unpredictable, catastrophic costs. Without health insurance, a major surgery could bankrupt a person, and without a warranty, a failed transmission could cause major problems for a car owner. Both serve to shield you from financial disaster when a big breakdown happens.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Kia powertrain warranty cover?
The current Kia powertrain warranty covers all major engine, transmission, axle, differential, and propeller shaft components, including internal parts, seals, gaskets, and key assemblies. The Kia powertrain warranty does not cover regular wear and tear or routine maintenance, but you can use our Jim Ellis dealership's "Service Now, Pay Over Time" program to help alleviate any stress caused by maintenance costs.
What is not covered under the powertrain warranty?
Daily wear and tear from routine driving is not covered under the Kia powertrain warranty, nor is regularly scheduled maintenance like oil changes or tire rotations. Other exclusions also apply, and these can be found in your Kia's owner's manual. Thankfully and most importantly, the Kia powertrain warranty does cover large vehicle systems, like engines and drivetrains, which tend to cost the most to repair.
Can the Kia powertrain warranty be transferred to a new owner?
Yes, the remainder of the 10-year, 100,00-mile Kia powertrain warranty can be transferred to a second owner as long as the Kia earns the label of "certified pre-owned." If the vehicle is sold to a second owner as a used model that isn't certified, the new owner will inherit the five-year or 60,000-mile Basic Limited Warranty alongside these Kia second-owner warranties.
