Get Americas Best Warranty With Hyundai

Hyundai proudly provides high-quality customer service and strives to make sure each customer is happy. The manufacturer has created what’s known as “America’s Best Warranty” for every new vehicle sold. Our team at Hyundai of Auburn is proud to offer this warranty on all our new vehicles. Reading information about this warranty can help you understand what it covers before starting the purchasing process. This article takes an in-depth look at Hyundai’s warranty and what makes it the best warranty option in America.

Which Vehicles Get Hyundai’s Warranty?

Hyundai provides warranty coverage for each new vehicle sold, including both gas and electric-powered models. While dealers may provide specialized warranties on used vehicles, Hyundai’s new vehicle warranty only applies to newly manufactured cars. It covers many unique issues a Hyundai vehicle may encounter and can provide you with maximum protection for your purchase.

Gas Vehicle Powertrain and Parts Coverage

Hyundai offers several warranty options on new gas vehicles, including protection for their powertrain and parts. These warranties end at either the year limit or the mileage limit. So, if you reach 100,000 miles before 10 years pass, your powertrain warranty will be finished. The different powertrain warranty options include:

• Powertrain: 10 years or 100,000 miles.
• Limited Powertrain: Five years or 60,000 miles.
• New Vehicle Limited: Seven years and unlimited miles.
• Anti-perforation: Seven years and unlimited miles.
• 24-hour Roadside Assistance: Five years and unlimited miles.

Parts, Accessories, and Emissions Coverage

Parts, accessories, and emissions warranties include a Replacement Parts and Accessories Limited Warranty that covers 12 months or 12,000 miles, a Federal Emission Defect, and a Performance Warranty that covers eight years or 80,000 miles. California residents also get an Emissions Control Systems Warranty that covers seven years or 70,000 miles.

Electric Vehicle Powertrain and Parts Coverage

Hyundai also offers a comprehensive Electric and Hybrid Powertrain warranty that provides 10 years or 100,000 miles of coverage. It protects the car’s electric battery and all the hybrid system components. Electric vehicles also receive many of the same warranties that are common on gas vehicles, such as new-vehicle protection and roadside assistance.

Breaking Down The Warranty Types

Understanding the different warranty options can help you learn which protections a new Hyundai receives before starting the purchasing process:

Powertrain Limited Warranty

This 10-year or 100,000-mile warranty covers all powertrain parts that Hyundai originally manufactured or installed, including the vehicle’s engine and all components connected to it. This warranty also covers defective material or factory workmanship, plus the original owner and family members driving the vehicle. This warranty does not cover any damage caused by the driver or poor maintenance procedures. When buying a Hyundai vehicle on the pre-owned market, any new owners can receive a five-year or 50,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty.

New Vehicle Limited Warranty

This warranty covers repairs and replacements on multiple internal parts manufactured or originally installed by Hyundai. This applies to radio and audio parts, such as a CD player, DVD player, navigation, and Bluetooth system. It also covers problems with the battery and air conditioning refrigerant, plus wear and tear issues to belts, brake pads, and linings. Like other warranties, the New Vehicle Limited Warranty only covers manufacturer and factory defects and not anything caused by the vehicle owner. You can either get coverage from three to five years or 36,000 to unlimited miles.

Anti-Perforation Warranty

This seven-year or unlimited-mile warranty covers perforation corrosion on the original Hyundai body sheet metal. This protection covers rust holes caused by material or factory workmanship defects, such as improper application of paint or anti-rust sealant. However, this warranty only covers holes that punch through the vehicle’s original body, rather than surface corrosion on the vehicle. It also doesn’t cover damage caused by the owner, such as dents in the metal.

24-Hour Roadside Assistance

This warranty goes into effect on the date a retail buyer purchases a new Hyundai vehicle or when it’s first put into service. When covered by this protection, you can call Roadside Assistance and receive help for free. You start by calling 1-800-243-7766 and providing your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), your vehicle’s mileage, its location, and a description of your problem. Hyundai will then send someone to pick you up, haul your vehicle to a repair shop, and fix it at no charge. This service covers any roadside emergencies and repairs during its coverage years or miles.

Replacement Parts and Accessories Limited Warranty

This 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty will pay for repairs or replacements on any parts or accessories manufactured by Hyundai. This warranty also covers any Genuine Replacement Parts or Accessories parts purchased from a dealer but not installed by them, and any problems caused by defective material or workmanship under normal use and maintenance guidelines. The New Vehicle Limited Warranty covers any accessories or parts installed before the vehicle’s first date of use, while this warranty covers any installed after a vehicle’s first use date.

Federal Emission Defect and Performance Warranty

This eight-year, 80,000-mile warranty covers any emission control parts in your Hyundai. For example, it can replace a failing catalytic converter, engine control module, or onboard emissions diagnostic device. It only covers parts that fail because of material or manufacturing errors — and only if they cause your vehicle’s exhaust to fall below EPA emissions guidelines. This warranty does not cover other EPA-required emissions parts beyond these items listed above. Instead, a New Vehicle Limited Warranty covers these components.

California-manufactured Hyundai vehicles also offer a seven-year, 70,000-mile warranty for the same concerns. It protects any Hyundai Motor America vehicles manufactured under California’s stricter specifications. It also distinguishes any cars registered in California, Maine, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Maryland, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Pennsylvania, or Washington. Coverage extends to original Hyundai emission components, with the covered parts varying depending on the model.
