2013 genesis coupe engine failure

[Curtainrod]

Hi All, New here
Just recently bought a coupe with 105,000 miles .
It has a "knock" My experience as a 30 plus year Chrysler Tech has me believing it is a rod Knock. I have read Numerous posts about this being a common issue with the 2.0T engine lowers with a premature wear on the connecting rod bearings, causing what I believe I am hearing .
The threads I have read state that Hyundai has extended the warranty on the Theta engines to 120,000 miles.
I contacted Hyundai with my VIN today and was told my warranty was expired at 100,000.
Has anyone here had a similar experience? And if so were you able to get any help with the Known engine defects repair? Beyond the 100K ?
This car was well maintained regular oil changes "documented" and owned by my sister since new.

As Ed said above, the Genesis Coupe seems to be absent from the recall. If you enter your VIN at this website below and do not get a confirmation of warranty coverage then CONTACT THE NHTSA.

Thank you Ed I did not see the genesis included either but given the year and engine I had hoped it would have been included in the engine warranty extension.
I have contacted Hyundai customer care and was told that no the warranty was not beyond the 100K mark, and am asking if anyone here has had the engine covered beyond the original 100K mark and what was the path taken to get assistance from Hyundai.

My daughter got lucky on this. She has a 2012 Sonata 2.0T. They did a software update involving the knock sensor. Along with the update came (as part of some settlement) a lifetime replacement warranty for the engine. Of course, it only applies to failure in the lower part of the engine.
I do feel like you were cheated that your model with the same engine was not included.
