What is covered under Hyundai Tucson manufacturer car warranty?

By Lawrence Minnie

Hyundai is very confident in their product, so much so that they are one of the only auto manufacturers that offers a 7 year / 200 000km warranty on their cars. We take a closer look at what this warranty actually covers and what isn't covered.

 

No bad luck in these 7 years

Hyundai is very confident in their product, so much so that they are one of the only auto manufacturers that offers a 7 year / 200 000km warranty on their cars.

That seems like an extraordinary deal but what does it actually cover?

We delved a little bit deeper into the fine print and this is what we found.

Extended cover

After pouring through the warranty terms and conditions we can confirm the following.

• This extended warranty applies to all Hyundai vehicles purchased after 1 February 2016.
• The warranty is actually a Basic 5 year / 150 000km covering everything and then an extended drivetrain warranty of 2 years / 50 000 km, totalling 7y / 200 000km.
• The basic warranty covers all the standard things such as manufacturing defects, defective materials or build issues.
• The clutch and associated equipment are only covered for 1 year or 20 000kms, whichever comes first.
• The rubber components of the driveline are only covered for 1 year or 20 000kms.
• Torque converters are only covered for the basic warranty period.
• Wear parts cannot be warrantied unless there is a mechanical failure.
• The radio is covered for 3 years / 60 000kms
• The battery is covered for 2 years / 40 000kms.

Hyundai's warranty is rather extensive and has coverage for almost everything. We highly suggest reading the actual warranty for your vehicle before approaching your dealer for any issue you may have.
