inspections to prevent rotor and drum damage due to 
pad/shoe wear.  
Manufacturer Design Choices 
•	The choices made in designing your vehicle, 
including the materials chosen for parts and

and are not warranted to be suitable for you or 
anyone else who uses your vehicle.

to spark plugs, engine belts, filters, wiper blades, and 
bulbs except HID bulbs are not warranted. However, 
as a matter of policy, Kia will repair or replace such

California Consumer Notice
3. California Civil Code Section 1793.2(d) requires that, if Kia or its representative is unable to repair a new motor 
vehicle to conform to the vehicle’s applicable express warranty after a reasonable number of attempts, Kia may be 
required to replace or repurchase the vehicle. California Civil Code Section 1793.22(b) creates a presumption that 
Kia has had a reasonable number of attempts to conform the vehicle to its applicable express warranties if, within 18 
months from delivery to the buyer or 18,000 miles on the vehicle’s odometer, whichever occurs first, one or more of 
the following occurs: 
•	 The	 same	nonconformity	 [a	failure	 to	conform	 to	the	 written	 warranty	 that	substantially	 impairs	the	use,	 value	 or	
safety of the vehicle] results in a condition that is likely to cause death or serious bodily injury if the vehicle is 
driven AND the nonconformity has been subject to repair two or more times by Kia or its agents AND the buyer or 
lessee has directly notified KIA of the need for the repair of the nonconformity; OR 
•	 The	 same	nonconformity	 has	been	 subject	 to	repair	 4	or	 more	 times	 by	Kia	 or	its	 agents	 AND	the	buyer	 has	notified 	
Kia of the need for the repair of the nonconformity; OR 
•	 The	 vehicle	is	out	 of	service	 by	reason	 of	repair	 of	nonconformities	 by	Kia	 or	its	 agents	 for	a	cumulative	 total	of	
more than 30 calendar days after delivery of the vehicle to the buyer.
