When you purchase a new Hyundai model, you’ll get access to a comprehensive warranty program. It’s likely that you have questions about it, which is why we here at McGrath City Hyundai want to help you get to know it better.
What is Hyundai's Warranty?
Hyundai offers a robust warranty program, featuring a comprehensive 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty for original owners, a 5-year/60,000-mile new vehicle limited warranty, a 7-year/unlimited-mile anti-perforation warranty against rust, and 5-year/unlimited-mile roadside assistance. This coverage package surpasses most competitors in the automotive industry and demonstrates Hyundai's commitment to quality and customer satisfaction for your drives around Chicago and beyond.
What Does the Powertrain Warranty Cover?
The powertrain warranty covers repairs or replacement of essential engine and transmission components that are defective under normal use and maintenance, including the engine, transmission, axles, driveshaft, and differential. Whether you're driving the impressive 2026 Palisade with its bold redesign and hybrid powertrain, the groundbreaking all-electric IONIQ 9 three-row SUV, the adventure-ready SANTA FE, or the fuel-efficient TUCSON, these critical mechanical components are protected against manufacturing defects for 10 years or 100,000 miles.
What Does the New Vehicle Limited Warranty Include?
This comprehensive warranty covers any installed component from material and factory defects, including your infotainment system, electrical systems, air conditioning, steering, suspension, and much more. Essentially, if it was installed at the factory and fails due to a manufacturing defect within the first five years or 60,000 miles, Hyundai will repair or replace it at no cost to you.
What Happens if I Sell My Hyundai?
When you sell your Hyundai, the powertrain warranty coverage reduces to 5-year/60,000-mile protection from the original purchase date, while the new vehicle limited warranty maintains its 5-year/60,000-mile coverage and automatically transfers with the vehicle. The warranty is tied to the VIN, so there's no complicated paperwork required to transfer coverage to the new owner.
Do I Have to Bring My Vehicle to a Hyundai Dealership for Service?
While you have some flexibility in choosing where to service your vehicle, Hyundai recommends bringing your vehicle to an authorized dealership, like our Service Department, to ensure your warranty remains valid on your drives down I-90. Our factory-trained technicians use genuine Hyundai parts and follow exact manufacturer procedures, ensuring your warranty protection remains intact while providing the highest quality service for your investment.
What is Not Covered Under the Warranty?
Understanding warranty exclusions helps set proper expectations. Regular maintenance items like oil changes and tire rotations, normal wear-and-tear items such as brake pads, tires, batteries, and wiper blades, and damage from accidents, collisions, or environmental events are not covered under warranty. These exclusions are standard throughout the automotive industry and focus the warranty on protecting against defects in materials and workmanship rather than routine upkeep or external damage.
