Hyundai Extended Warranty Engine Failure

Nearly two years after final approval was issued for a $3.1 billion settlement over an alleged engine defect in certain Hyundai and Kia vehicles, the automakers have reached another class action settlement covering an additional 2.1 million vehicles. For qualified vehicles, the Powertrain Limited Warranty coverage for certain engine repairs and/or replacement where the engine damage or malfunction is caused by connecting rod bearing failure, will be extended by Hyundai to 15 years or 150,000 miles from the date of original retail delivery or date of first use, whichever occurs first. This extended coverage demonstrates Hyundai's commitment to addressing the engine issues that have affected certain models while providing long.

The settlement extends the Powertrain Warranty to a Lifetime Warranty (Warranty Extension TXXI) for engine repairs needed due to connecting rod bearing wear or damage, upon completion of the Knock Sensor Detection System Software Update (Service Campaign 953). The settlement provides a free recall inspection for any recalled vehicles not yet inspected in connection with one of Hyundai's. Hyundai has extended the warranty of these vehicles for both original and subsequent owners for certain engine repairs, subject to other eligibility requirements.

This Extended Warranty covers damage to the short block assembly and long block assembly caused by connecting rod bearing failure. Second, Hyundai will reimburse you in full for money you spent on Qualifying Repairs that occurred before June 7, 2023, if the vehicle was within 15 years from the date of original retail delivery or 150,000. Unfortunately, a class action lawsuit forced Hyundai to recall several engines at one point.

So, will Hyundai replace my engine? Here's the answer! Hyundai offers a free lifetime engine replacement warranty for affected models with 2.4. Beyond recalls, Hyundai extended warranty coverage for engine components to 10 years or 120,000 miles for many affected vehicles. In some cases, they offered lifetime warranty coverage for engine replacements performed under recall.

If you have lost faith in your Class Vehicle as a result of an engine failure or engine compartment fire and you purchase a replacement Hyundai vehicle, you may be entitled to a rebate. If you're the owner of a vehicle equipped with Hyundai's Theta II 2.0-liter turbo or 2.4 liter naturally aspirated engine, you might be covered by this class.
