[Gunkk]

Just saw this:

"Radio and audio systems (i.e., radio, compact disc player, DVD player, navigation system and Bluetooth®): for MY 16, 5 years/60,000 miles for all models"

Here is exact wording:

•Radio and audio systems (i.e., radio, compact disc player, DVD player, navigation system and Bluetooth®): for MY 15 and prior, 3 years/36,000 miles—Equus: 5 years/60,000 miles
•Radio and audio systems (i.e., radio, compact disc player, DVD player, navigation system and Bluetooth®): for MY 16, 5 years/60,000 miles for all models

Great news for Hyundai's future! I like it!!!

Now, about all of us here who've had to buy extended warranties to get this peace of mind.... Some here would say "piece" of mind.

I don't mind paying extra to have everything covered for 10 years. (I drive less than 10,000 a year)

I'll probably drive the car until I'm dead.

I doubt that, not against your Genesis.

Anyway, back to topic.
It must be the first in the automobile industry to offer such warranties.
How about KIA?
Would it follow suit soon?

Great news!
May improve residual values.
May allow leasing extensions without the liability of audio/head unit.
May even create new niches for leasing: 48 and 60 months.

and, theoretically, may reduce the cost of extended warranty.

Good for us AND the brand!

Wish they would extend this warranty to the safety electronics as well. It seems like this would fill the last big hole for anyone wanting to hang on to their car for up to five years.
