What voids the Kia warranty?

I have a 2021 Kia K5, and I’m considering adding a new exhaust. However, I'm worried it'll interfere with my warranty because it’s still covered for several more years. What voids the Kia new vehicle warranty?

Although plenty of items are covered under the Kia New Vehicle Limited Warranty, it’s not all-inclusive. Things like a salvage title, vehicle misuse, environmental damage, and an altered odometer will void the Kia warranty.
Other things that will void the warranty for specific parts include:
  • Neglect
  • Use of improper fluids
  • Aftermarket parts or car modifications
If you want to avoid warranty issues, here are a few points to keep in mind:
  • Read all the fine print on your warranty
  • Perform
    regular car maintenance
    on your vehicle
  • Keep all service receipts and records
Keeping your vehicle in good shape is important to maintain the manufacturer’s warranty, but consider investing in a new
