NEW VEHICLE LIMITED WARRANTY EXTENSION

PLEASE KEEP THIS LETTER IN THE GLOVEBOX OF THE VEHICLE
April 25, 2023
Dear Kia Telluride LX/S/EX Owner:
Kia America, Inc. takes pride in providing you with high quality and dependable vehicles. To maintain these standards, Kia is
extending the New Vehicle Limited Warranty coverage for the halogen headlamp assembly in certain 2020 MY Telluride
LX/S/EX vehicles from 5 years / 60,000 miles to 15 years / 150,000 miles, whichever comes first, starting from the date
the vehicle was first put into service. This warranty extension addresses, at no cost to you, the potential failure of the
halogen headlamp assembly, which may cause a loss of high beam functionality.
Warranty Extension Coverage:
•

If at any time within the extended warranty period, you experience loss of high beam functionality, your authorized Kia
dealership will diagnose the cause at no cost to you.

•

Should the loss of high beam functionality be diagnosed as being due to a failed halogen headlamp assembly, your
authorized Kia dealership will repair or, if necessary, replace the halogen headlamp assembly at no cost to you under
this warranty extension.

•

If diagnosis reveals that your vehicle has an unrelated issue(s), any necessary repairs will not be covered under this
warranty extension and your dealer will advise you what the associated repair cost(s) will be if no warranty coverage
applies.

•

This extension to Kia’s New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not alter the limitations and exclusions contained in that New
Vehicle Limited Warranty including abuse, neglect, or external damage.

What Should You Do?
•

Unless you experience loss of high beam functionality, you DO NOT need to bring your vehicle to a Kia dealership for the
purpose of this warranty extension.

•

However, if you do experience loss of high beam functionality, please contact an authorized Kia dealership to make an
appointment to have your vehicle diagnosed at no cost to you.

•

NOTE: This condition does not affect vehicles equipped with LED projector beam-type headlamps. In addition, this
condition does not affect the low beams or the halogen bulbs. Normal maintenance items, including but not limited to
the bulbs, are not warranted. However, as a matter of policy, Kia will repair or replace such maintenance items of a new
vehicle during the vehicle’s initial ownership period, but only up to the first service interval or 12 months / 12,000 miles,
whichever comes first.
