New Vehicle Limited Warranty:
- Most Hyundai vehicles come with a new vehicle limited warranty that typically covers parts, including the starter, for a certain period or mileage, whichever comes first. The duration of the warranty may vary depending on the model and year of your Hyundai. For example, some models may have a 5-year/60,000-mile basic warranty, while others may have a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
- The starter would likely be covered under this warranty if it fails due to a manufacturer's defect or material flaw within the warranty period.
Extended Warranty:
- If your Hyundai's original factory warranty has expired, you may have purchased an extended warranty or vehicle service contract. Extended warranties typically provide additional coverage beyond the basic warranty and may include components like the starter. The terms and coverage of extended warranties can vary, so it's essential to review the specific contract for details.
Powertrain Warranty:
- Some Hyundai models come with a specific powertrain warranty that covers components related to the engine, transmission, and driveline. If the starter is considered part of the powertrain in your vehicle, it may be covered under this warranty. Again, the terms of the powertrain warranty will vary depending on the model and year.
Wear and Tear:
- Starters are subject to wear and tear over time, and their lifespan can be affected by factors such as driving conditions and climate. If the starter fails due to normal wear and tear or is damaged due to external factors like accidents or modifications, it may not be covered under warranty.
To confirm whether the starter in your Hyundai is covered under warranty, it's best to consult your vehicle's warranty documentation or contact an authorized Hyundai dealership. They will be able to provide you with specific information based on your vehicle's model, year, and warranty status.
