Are brake calipers covered under the Kia warranty?

The Kia warranty is one of the best in the business. However, I’m not exactly sure what components it covers. If something goes wrong with my brake calipers, will my Kia warranty cover it?

Unfortunately, brake calipers are not covered under the Kia warranty unless the failure of the component was due to a manufacturer defect.
Kia generally chalks up caliper damage or malfunction to normal wear and tear, so unless the calipers are cracked or warped in a fashion that’s only synonymous with faulty manufacturing, you’ll probably have to pay out of pocket for these repairs. Fixing or repairing a brake caliper is typically between $250 and $600 per wheel.
Although warranties can provide peace of mind, they don’t safeguard against everything. So when you buy a new car, starting a maintenance fund is always a good idea. To get a bit more cash for your repair account, cut your
