Specific parts of the car are covered by the various portions of the Hyundai warranty. You can check specifications on the Hyundai website, and your Hyundai dealer should also provide you a warranty booklet with extra information about your coverage.
Here is a detailed explanation of how the Hyundai warranty safeguards your car:
- New Vehicle Limited Warranty: This acts as Hyundai’s bumper-to-bumper coverage and, with the exception of a few exceptions listed in the auto warranty booklet, covers nearly all electrical and mechanical components throughout the vehicle.
- Your powertrain is made up of the engine, transmission, drive axles, certain gaskets, and related items. Powertrain Limited Warranty Consider this guarantee as covering the components that move your car.
- In the first seven years that your car is on the road, Hyundai will repair any body sheet metal panels that have corroded through as a result of corrosion.
- Replacement Parts and Accessories Limited Warranty: 1 year/12,000 miles of coverage is provided for accessories purchased at the same time as a new Hyundai vehicle. Those who are added later will likewise be covered by the warranty for a year starting on the installation date.
- Performance and Emission Defect Warranties: The periods of coverage change based on the part. Parts like the fuel pump and alternator are protected under a 5-year/60,000-mile warranty, while catalytic converters and engine control modules have an 8-year/80,000-mile warranty. Hyundai also provides a warranty specifically for the tougher California emissions standards that several states must follow.
- Hyundai owners owning vehicles from the model years 2012 to 2019 are entitled for a lifetime guarantee on the hybrid batteries, so long as the vehicles are still in the original buyer’s possession. The hybrid vehicles are covered by a 10-year/100,000-mile guarantee for subsequent owners.
Hyundai’s factory warranty provides five years and unrestricted mileage of round-the-clock roadside support in addition to peace of mind for repairs and replacement services. This can come in in if you lock yourself out of your automobile or need a tow truck.

At any given time, the following parts are not covered by warranty. Drive belts, spark plugs, fuses, and bulbs. Timing chain. air-purifying components. oil filter and fuel filter. A/C gas, Lubricants, battery acid, battery, additives, grease, brake linings, brake pads, brake disc or drum, and clutch disc.
Warranty coverage for Hyundai
The Hyundai warranty, often known as “Hyundai Assurance,” includes a number of warranties with the purchase of new Hyundai vehicles.
The bulk of the car’s parts are covered by this guarantee. There are other parts that come with shorter warranties, like the 12-volt battery, paint (3 years/36,000 miles), refrigerant charge for air conditioners (1 year/unlimited miles), and adjustments (1 year/12,000 miles).
Your Hyundai’s engine and transmission are covered by this warranty. The original owner is the only one for whom the duration of coverage is applicable. The New Vehicle Limited Warranty covers the powertrain for subsequent owners for just 5 years/60,000 miles.
Hyundai will replace any car body sheet metal that has perforations (holes from rust) from corrosion as a result of subpar manufacturing practices or faulty materials.
This warranty covers accessories and replacement items installed by a certified Hyundai dealership that are Hyundai Genuine.
Major emissions control parts like the catalytic converter assembly, exhaust manifold catalytic assembly, and engine control module are all covered by these warranties for either repair or replacement. For five years and 60,000 miles, other emissions components are covered. California-specific components and additional necessary components as per California legislation are covered by a separate California Emissions Control Systems Warranty.
All batteries from Hyundai that are electric or hybrid are covered by this lifetime warranty. Even though the term is for life, subsequent owners are only covered for 10 years/100,000 miles.
In the case of a breakdown, this coverage provides additional roadside assistance, such as petrol delivery, jump starts, flat tire replacements, lockout service, and towing to the closest Hyundai shop.
The powertrain warranty covers catalytic converters, right?
Every warranty has a long list of exclusions that detail what is not covered; occasionally, this list appears to be broader than the list of items that are. As we previously noted, each manufacturer has different specifications for what is and isn’t covered, but a recurring trend is that cooling systems, all electronics, engine control module sensors, belts, and hoses are not covered. Other parts that could not be covered include wheel bearings, catalytic converters, oil pumps, and water pumps.
A solid generalization is that a powertrain warranty does not apply to anything deemed to be a worn item. For instance, don’t count on the dealership to cover the cost of a replacement clutch if your manual-transmission car’s clutch fails. The service department will simply label it a wear-and-tear item and hand you the bill, even if it only lasted 20,000 miles. The same is true of additional components like the timing belt or CV joints, which are regarded as wear parts and are not covered by a guarantee.
Brake pads, tire rotations, and other standard maintenance procedures won’t be covered either. The warranty is not intended to cover basic maintenance; rather, it is meant to shield automobile owners against unforeseen repairs.
You must read the fine print regarding your warranty coverage if you don’t want your local mechanic to be startled about what is and isn’t covered by your service contract. No matter if you’re purchasing a new car with factory coverage or a third-party warranty, the contract will expressly state the warranty’s terms.
Catalytic converters are they covered by bumper to bumper warranties?
A protection plan with exclusions identifies such elements. According to the contract’s provisions, everything else on the car is also covered. There are several exclusions that would be covered under the factory warranty, including shocks, belts, hoses, light bulbs, batteries, emissions, airbags, catalytic converters, and others, so it would be a stretch to call this type of guarantee bumper-to-bumper.
How long is the warranty on a catalytic converter good for?
A fuel pump malfunctioned in John F. Holmes’ 2004 BMW 325i in Fayetteville, North Carolina, in 2012. For a replacement, the nearby BMW dealer demanded more than $8,000. However, Mr. Holmes then discovered that his vehicle was covered by a 15-year emissions guarantee under Californian law. As a result, he negotiated with BMW to have the repair completed without charge.
You should be aware that all cars now have extended warranties on essential emissions parts, but that may be an extreme instance. The engine control module and catalytic converter are protected for eight years or 80,000 miles under federal law. Federal warranties for some additional emissions parts are typically only two years or 24,000 miles long. However, some specific manufacturers choose to voluntarily prolong their warranty on particular parts, extending it to three years or 36,000 miles, or even longer.
The tougher emissions regulations in California and the many states that have adopted them have even longer warranties and cover more things, including fuel injectors and the injector-control module, fuel pumps, transmission solenoids, and many other parts, as well as related hardware, for seven years or 70,000 miles.
These parts are warranted for 15 years or 150,000 miles in partial zero-emission vehicles, which includes the majority of hybrids and certain non-hybrid models. California, Connecticut, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont are currently the states that honor this PZEV warranty.
The warranty handbook for your car contains information on particular parts that are protected by federal and California warranties.
How can I tell whether the warranty on my catalytic converter has expired?
Contacting your local dealer is the quickest way to learn if an emission component is covered by warranty. The dealer can research the vehicle’s warranties, including any newer warranties that could have been added since the car was made.
What does the Hyundai warranty not cover?
It’s important to define what the automaker means when it says that “any component” is covered by the Hyundai bumper-to-bumper warranty. Even while the majority of parts with a material or workmanship defect will be covered by the manufacturer, not all parts are truly covered by this protection.
Hyundai’s warranty excludes coverage for:
- Regular labor costs for car maintenance
- After the 12-month/12,000-mile period expires, routine maintenance tasks
- regular deterioration, including tire wear
- Accident-related harm or negligence
