Summary

WARRANTY EXTENSION CAMPAIGN: OWNER NOTIFICATION (WTY037) - This document is the owner notification advising that Kia is extending the New Vehicle Limited Warranty coverage, to all owners, for repairs related to the Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) blower motor in 2021-2022 MY K5 vehicles from 5 years / 60,000 miles to 15 years / 180,000 miles, whichever comes first, starting from the date the vehicle was first put into service. Extended use of the HVAC at high fan speeds may cause damage to the multi-fuse terminals for the HVAC blower motor circuit, which can cause the blower motor to become inoperative, resulting in reduced heat and air conditioning airflow.

Owners of these vehicles have filed 71 complaints in the electrical category.
