2021-2024 MY KIA SELTOS VEHICLES
HORN ASSEMBLY
NEW VEHICLE LIMITED WARRANTY EXTENSION

PLEASE KEEP THIS LETTER IN THE GLOVEBOX OF THE VEHICLE
July 11, 2024
Dear Kia Seltos Owner:
Kia America, Inc. takes pride in providing you with high-quality and dependable vehicles. In order to maintain these
standards, Kia is extending the New Vehicle Limited Warranty coverage, to all owners, for repairs related to the horn
assembly in 2021-2024 MY Seltos vehicles from 5 years / 60,000 miles to 10 years / 120,000 miles, whichever comes
first, starting from the date the vehicle was first put into service. This warranty extension is to address a horn sound
malfunction condition free of charge at no cost to you.
Warranty Extension Coverage:
•

If, at any time within the extended warranty period, your vehicle’s horn does not emit any sound or emits an unusual or
different horn sound than normal, your authorized Kia dealership will diagnose the cause free of charge at no cost to
you.

•

If the above symptoms are diagnosed as being due to corrosion inside the electric horn and/or carbonization of the
contact point, your Kia dealer will replace the horn assembly free of charge at no cost to you under this warranty
extension.

•

If diagnosis reveals that your vehicle’s horn concern is caused by an issue not caused by corrosion inside the electric
horn and/or carbonization of the contact point, 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 your vehicle’s horn does not emit any sound or an unusual or different horn sound, you DO NOT need to bring
your vehicle to a Kia dealership for the purpose of this warranty extension.

•

However, if you do experience the above concern, please contact an authorized Kia dealership as soon as possible to
make an appointment to have your vehicle diagnosed free of charge at no cost to you.
