Many people all over the world are facing challenges with the pandemic of COVID-19, making it hard to travel for simple things like groceries or to make it to work every morning. The middle of April is expected to be the worst of it, and citizens are being asked to stay inside unless absolutely necessary – period. Although it may not seem like much, some automakers are trying to support their consumers as well as the community, and Kia Motors is one of many stepping up. If not in the know, Kia Motors has some of the best and longest-lasting automotive warranties in the industry. With many consumers unable to leave their homes for repairs or maintenance on the vehicle that gets them around, Kia Motors is extending warranties currently in effect with the “Kia Promise”.
What is the Kia Promise? Simply put, the Kia Motors Corporation is launching a global warranty extension program for its vehicles. Because many people around the world are currently limited in movement, this program is intended to give them a bit of a buffer, with many hoping that the coronavirus outbreak will simmer down by the summertime. The intention is to help all vehicles still covered with their original Kia warranties and expire between February 1 and April 30, 2020. If owning a Kia Motors vehicle with a warranty coming to a close, the program will be extending the warranty expiration date for all eligible vehicles to June 30, 2020.
