Hyundai and Kia to extend expiring car warranties for customers in Singapore (UPDATED)

Owners of Hyundais and Kias with expiring manufacturer warranties will have their warranties extended under a global programme

SINGAPORE

If you own a Hyundai and your car’s warranty expires between March 1 and April 30 this year, Hyundai has announced that it will extend your car’s manufacturer warranty coverage until May 31 2020 under a new global initiative.

The programme, called Hyundai CARE, covers some 1.2 million customers globally, including those in Singapore. The Korean carmaker states that the programme aims to support customers who may encounter difficulties in having their vehicles serviced due to restricted access to service centres during the current COVID-19 pandemic.

The local distributor for Hyundai vehicles, Komoco Motors, will be reaching out to affected customers via email over the coming days to furnish them with more details about the programme.

UPDATE (April 11 2020): Fellow Korean carmaker Kia has announced a similar programme for its customers worldwide, covering cars with warranties expiring between February 1 to April 30 this year. Kia’s programme extends the affected cars’ warranties to June 30, according to the brand’s local distributor. Cycle & Carriage.

The news should come as a relief to affected customers here, given that car workshops in Singapore can only perform emergency repairs following the implementation of ‘circuit breaker’ shutdown measures from April 7 to May 4.

“We regret that we have to reschedule servicing appointments for many of our customers amidst stricter COVID-19 measures in Singapore,” said Mr Kwek Keng Poh, Aftersales Director for Komoco Motors. “With Hyundai CARE, we wish to set their minds at ease regarding eligibility for warranty repairs and related services in the coming months. Not only do we care about our customers’ health and safety, we care about the ‘health’ and safety of their vehicles as well.”
