NEW VEHICLE LIMITED WARRANTY EXTENSION
PLEASE KEEP THIS LETTER IN THE GLOVEBOX OF THE VEHICLE
April 13, 2022
Dear Kia Cadenza Owner:
Kia America, Inc. takes pride in providing you with high quality and dependable vehicles. To maintain these standards, Kia is
extending the New Vehicle Limited Warranty coverage for repairs that may be necessary to address an Oil Pressure
Switch leak in 2014-2016 MY Cadenza vehicles equipped with 3.3L GDI Engine from 5 years/60,000 miles to 15
years/150,000 miles, whichever comes first, starting from the date the vehicle was first put into service. This warranty
extension is to address the Oil Pressure Switch leaking condition at no cost to you during this extended warranty period.
Warranty Extension Coverage:

If you notice engine oil is leaking from the engine or if the Engine Oil Pressure Warning Light
stays illuminated
after the engine is turned ON, it is alerting you of a potential problem with your vehicle’s engine oil system. Drive
carefully to a safe location and stop your vehicle. Turn the engine OFF and check the engine oil level (more information
can be found in the “Engine Oil” section of your Owner’s Manual). If the level is low, add oil as required and take your
vehicle to an authorized Kia dealer for diagnosis as soon as possible. Your authorized Kia dealership will diagnose the
cause at no cost to you during the extended warranty period.

Also, at any time within the extended warranty period, should the cause of the engine oil leak and/or illumination of the
Engine Oil Pressure Warning Light be determined to originate from the Oil Pressure Switch, your authorized Kia
dealership will replace the oil pressure switch at no cost to you under this warranty extension.

This extension to Kia’s New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not alter the limitations and exclusions contained in that New
Vehicle Limited Warranty including abuse, neglect, or external damage.
What Should You Do?

If you notice engine oil is leaking from the engine or if the warning light stays illuminated, contact the nearest authorized
Kia dealer to have your vehicle diagnosed as soon as possible.

If oil is NOT leaking from the engine or the Engine Oil Pressure Warning Light DOES NOT remain illuminated after the
engine is turned ON, you DO NOT need to bring your vehicle to a Kia dealership for the purpose of this warranty
extension.
