is a cracked windshield covered under warranty kia

Experimental mods could be attempted once outside the warranty period. That said, this may be a modification that I personally will stay away from, for the above reasons. The paddles do add to the ease in driving, especially for engine braking on downslopes, slowing down for a speed-breaker, etc. Its perhaps a tough call for even a dealer workshop to make this change - its a major modification and will definitely impact warranty as well as have Kia breathing down the authorised workshop that did this mod - especially in case (God forbid), there is a downstream failure or snag in that DCT gearbox which is then be attributed to this mod. Instead, its likely to be the hardware and cabling. In all probability, the ECU / gearbox controller software will have had this option already enabled. So you are perhaps looking at a one-to-one replacement of the steering assembly and associated cabling as an expensive option. I do not remember seeing any 'slots' (as you put it) or any other interface option on the older version to install paddles.

The paddles are mounted on the steering wheel assembly. Is there a way to retrofit or upgrade it with the paddle shifters that come in the updated version and the relevant software upgrade for the ECU to support the same?ĭoes the older version even have the slots to enable these paddles?

Insurance may then be the option.Īll the best and please us posted on developments.

Re - warranty - you need to check the fine print, if there are enough escape clauses, its then difficult to pin the OEM down.

An advice (unsubstantiated) I remember reading is to keep the glasses rolled down a wee bit to let the hot air inside escape.

Some Seltos Facebook group owners have reported windshield cracks after parking in the open during a hot, sunny day.

The crack may be caused by OEM's improper fitment of of the windwhield which left residual stresses on the glass, which finally gave way through the crack to relieve the stress.

If its an internal crack, then its obviously a defect in the windshield. Is the crack only the inside, only on the outside or is it through and through? You could feel it with a finger and determine.There are a few other posts of members reporting such unexplained cracks either in this review or in Facebook groups.I took it out today evening (10-Jul) to find a crack in the windshield.
