Parts to check in a Tucson plan
- EngineThe engine block, cylinder heads and the internally lubricated parts inside them: pistons, crankshaft, camshafts, timing chain, oil pump and valve train.

- Hybrid and EV componentsThe inverter, electric drive motor, onboard charger, DC-DC converter and battery cooling pump.
How much factory warranty is left on your Tucson?
Estimate only, assuming the car was first sold early in its model year. Your in-service date is on your registration or available from a dealer.
Hyundai Tucson factory warranty
New Hyundai vehicles typically come with basic coverage for 5 years or 60,000 miles and powertrain coverage for 10 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. Coverage starts on the date the vehicle was first sold. Terms can differ by model year, so confirm yours in the warranty booklet or with a Hyundai dealer.
The long powertrain term applies to the original owner. If you bought your Hyundai Tucson used, the powertrain coverage that transfers to you is generally shorter.
Why body style matters
SUVs carry more weight than cars and many have all-wheel drive, which adds a transfer case or coupling, a rear differential and extra axle shafts. Power liftgates, third-row climate control and panoramic roofs add electrical parts that sit outside powertrain coverage.
Naturally aspirated gas engine
A conventional gas engine has no turbocharger, which removes one expensive part. The costly failures are internal: timing chain components, head gaskets, oil pumps and, on direct-injection engines, the high-pressure fuel pump. Powertrain-level plans cover these internally lubricated parts.
Hybrid system
A hybrid adds a high-voltage battery, an inverter, one or more motor-generators and an electric air-conditioning compressor. The hybrid battery usually has its own long factory warranty. Many extended plans exclude the battery but cover the inverter and motors, so read that section carefully.
Plug-in hybrid system
A plug-in hybrid has the parts of a gas car and of an electric car: engine, transmission, a larger battery, an onboard charger and a charge port. Ask specifically whether the onboard charger and high-voltage components are covered.
About Hyundai
Hyundai's 10-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty is for the original owner only. If you bought your Hyundai used, powertrain coverage is generally limited to the 5-year, 60,000-mile term from the original sale date.
