California Emission Control Warranty Statement

Your Warranty Rights And Obligations

The California Air Resources Board and Kia America, Inc., are pleased to explain the emission control system warranty on your 2023 Kia vehicle. In California, new motor vehicles must be designed, built and equipped to meet the State’s stringent anti-smog standards. Kia must warrant the emission control system on your Kia vehicle for the periods of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your Kia vehicle.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburettor or fuel-injection system, the ignition system, the catalytic converter, and the engine computer. Also included may be hoses, belts, connectors and other emission-related assemblies. Where a warrantable condition exists, Kia will repair your Kia vehicle at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.

Manufacturer’s Warranty Coverage For 3 years or 50,000 miles, whichever first occurs:

1. If your Kia vehicle fails a Smog Check inspection, all necessary repairs and adjustments will be made by Kia to ensure that your vehicle passes the inspection. This is your emission control system PERFORMANCE WARRANTY.
2. If any emission-related part on your Kia vehicle is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by Kia. This is your short-term emission control system DEFECTS WARRANTY.

For 7 years or 70,000 miles for emission-related parts, whichever first occurs (8 years or 80,000 miles for Federal Emission Control Warranty) :
If an emission-related part listed in this warranty booklet specially noted with coverage for 7 years or 70,000 miles is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by Kia. This is your long-term emission control system DEFECTS WARRANTY.
For 2023 SULEV(Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle), all parts covered under the PERFORMANCE WARRANTY and the DEFECT WARRANTY, which are listed in this warranty booklet on the Emission Warranty Parts List, are warranted for 15 years or 150,000 miles, whichever occurs first.

Owner’s Warranty Responsibilities

As the Kia vehicle owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your owner’s manual. Kia recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your vehicle but Kia cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.
You are responsible for presenting your Kia vehicle to a Kia dealer as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
As the Kia vehicle owner, you should also be aware that Kia may deny you warranty coverage if your Kia vehicle or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.
If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact Kia America, Inc., Consumer Affairs Department at 1-800-333-4542 or the California Air Resource Board at 9528 Telstar Avenue, El Monte, CA 91731 (1-800-242-4450).

Coverage

Kia America, Inc. (Kia), warrants to the owner that any vehicle certified for sale in the State of California and registered in the State of California is designed, built and equipped so as to conform with the emissions standards adopted by the California Air Resources Board. Kia warrants that this vehicle is free from defects in material and workmanship which would cause any part on this vehicle which affects emissions to fail to conform with applicable requirements or to fail to pass a required state smog check test for 3 years or 50,000 miles, whichever occurs first. Kia also warrants that, any part on the warranted emissions parts list in this warranty and installed as original equipment, is free from defects in material and workmanship which would cause this vehicle to fail to conform with applicable regulations for 7 years or 70,000 miles, whichever first occurs

Warranty Service
To obtain warranty service, return the vehicle to any authorized Kia dealer. Service will be performed without charge for diagnosis, parts and labor. In case of emergency, see Emergency Service Instructions.
Exclusions
This warranty does not apply to failures caused by abuse, tampering or lack of maintenance; or to any vehicle on which the odometer mileage has been altered so that the vehicle’s actual mileage cannot be determined.
STATEMENT OF OWNER’S RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
What Is Covered By The Warranty
If a vehicle fails a state Smog Check test during the coverage period, Kia will repair the vehicle so that it will pass a state Smog Check retest. The owner should take the vehicle to any authorized dealer for Warranty repairs and present a copy of the failed Smog Check test report to the dealer. If the owner is not notified within 30 days that a performance warranty claim is not valid then the manufacturer is required to repair the vehicle free of charge.

In addition, if a warranted part fails because of a defect, Kia will repair or replace it at any authorized Kia dealer. Any other parts damaged by the failure of a warranted part will also be repaired or replaced. The repair and/or replacement will be made at no charge to the owner for parts, labor and diagnosis. For emergency situations, see the instructions under Emergency Service.
How Long Does The Warranty Last
The warranty shall apply for 3 years or 50,000 miles, whichever occurs first, except that those parts listed on the warranted parts list are covered for 7 years or 70,000 miles, whichever first occurs. For 2023 SULEV(Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle), all parts covered under the PERFORMANCE WARRANTY and the DEFECT WARRANTY, which are listed in this warranty booklet on the Emission Warranty Parts List, are warranted for 15 years or 150,000 miles, whichever occurs first. Where parts are scheduled for replacement as required maintenance, the warranty shall apply until the first scheduled maintenance point listed in the Owner’s Manual. This warranty begins on the date the vehicle is delivered to the original purchaser or on the date the vehicle is first placed in service, whichever occurs first.

What The Owner Must Do
It is your responsibility to perform the required maintenance and use the vehicle in accordance with Kia’s written instructions. Warranty coverage will not be denied solely because there is no record of maintenance. However, failures caused by lack of required maintenance are not covered by the warranty. To avoid questions as to whether the vehicle maintenance has been performed, Kia urges that you retain all receipts and/or maintenance records indicating that service has been performed on the vehicle and these documents should be transferred to any subsequent owner of the vehicle.
Service
MAINTENANCE SERVICE CAN BE PERFORMED BY ANY QUALIFIED SERVICE OUTLET OR BY THE OWNER. HOWEVER, EXCEPT IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION (SEE EMERGENCY SERVICE), WARRANTY SERVICE MUST BE PERFORMED BY AN AUTHORIZED KIA DEALER.

Parts
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT ANY REPLACEMENT PARTS USED FOR MAINTENANCE OR FOR THE REPAIR OF EMISSIONS CONTROL SYSTEMS BE NEW, KIA GENUINE PARTS. However, the warranty obligations are not dependent upon the use of any particular brand of replacement parts. The owner may elect to use non-Kia parts for maintenance purposes. Use of replacement parts which are not of equivalent quality may impair the effectiveness of emissions control systems.
What Is Not Covered By Emission Warranty
Malfunctions in any part caused by misuse, alteration, tampering, disconnection or improper or inadequate maintenance.
Damage to catalytic converter due to use of leaded gasoline.
Damage resulting from fire, accident, negligence, act of God or other events beyond the control of Kia.
Maintenance replacement parts (such as spark plugs) beyond the first scheduled replacement point.

Incidental or consequential damages such as loss of use of the vehicle, loss of time, inconvenience, expense for gasoline, telephone, travel or lodging.
Any vehicle on which the odometer mileage has been altered so that actual vehicle mileage cannot readily be determined. (When the Owner replaces the speedometer or has it replaced by a repair facility, then the “Speedometer Replacement Record” on the inside front cover must be filled in by an Authorized Kia Dealer.)
Loss or damage to personal property, loss of revenue, commercial loss or other matter not specifically included.
Damage resulting from the use of a non-Kia part.
Emergency Service
If emergency Emission Control System Warranty service is required and the owner is unable to readily locate an authorized Kia dealer or if a warranted part is not available within 30 days, then, repairs may be performed at any available service establishment, or by the owner, using any replacement part. Kia will reimburse the owner for the owner’s expenses including diagnostic charges for such emergency repair or replacement at Kia’s suggested retail price for all warranted parts replaced and labor charges based on Kia’s recommended time allowance for the warranty repair and the geographically appropriate hourly labor rate. Replaced parts and copies of paid original receipts must be available for presentation to Kia as a condition of reimbursement for these emergency repairs. In addition, the owner must provide Kia a detailed description indicating why the situation was considered an emergency and why an authorized Kia dealer was not available. Additional information may be obtained by calling 1-800-333-4Kia. A repair not being complete within 30 days constitutes an emergency.
ATTACHED IS A LIST OF COMPONENTS WARRANTED AGAINST DEFECTS IN MATERIAL AND WORKMANSHIP FOR 7 YEARS OR 70,000 MILES ON VEHICLES/ENGINES AS NOTED.
