The short answer is, yes, gearboxes are covered under the standard Kia warranty. There are, however, situations where it won’t be covered.
Kia’s standard warranty is one of the best in the business. Kia owners can expect a bumper-to-bumper warranty that lasts for five years or 60,000 miles and a powertrain warranty that lasts for ten years or 100,000 miles.
Since a gearbox is part of the car’s transmission system, it should be covered by the powertrain warranty. However, it won’t be covered if:
You misuse the transmission
You replace the transmission with third party equipment
The gearbox is damaged in an accident.
Kia’s extensive warranty coverage is nice to have, but it’s no replacement for reliable car insurance. If you’d like to save on your Kia insurance costs
