Is the starter covered under the Hyundai warranty?

My car wouldn’t turn over yesterday. I had to take the bus and I was late to work! My coworker said my starter is probably bad. I don’t really have the money for a big car repair right now. Is this something my Hyundai warranty will cover? I’ve had the car for three years.

It’s never a fun day when you’re late to work—sorry that happened!
Hyundai
boasts that its warranty is the most generous in the nation, and they’re not wrong—their limited powertrain warranty covers 10 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. While the starter is what gets your engine going, it’s not necessarily covered under the powertrain warranty—but it might be covered under the electrical warranty.
The electrical warranty is subject to conditions that cover less time and fewer miles. In this case, the electrical system is covered for 5 years or 60,000 miles. You should contact your dealership to find out if your starter is covered under the powertrain or bumper-to-bumper warranty. Either way, if you’ve only had the car for three years, you should be covered!
