Hyundai Theta II 2.0L engine lifetime warranty?

[AGD]

I just saw a news clip stating that Hyundai are now offering a lifetime warranty on their Theta II engines, in light of the class action lawsuit laid against them. I'm wondering if some learned members of this forum can comment or shed light on how this will affect the 2.0L owners on this board. If I'm not mistaken, our 2.0 engines are Theta II's and should therefor be covered under this new warranty. In the news clippings, they'll mention every Hyundai or Kia using this particular motor (well, motors, as the 2.4 is mentioned as well), but no mention of the Genesis.

I'm thinking that a lifetime engine warranty is cool, but I'd rather my engine just not seize up altogether.

if i recall correctly there was a specific manufacturing defect at the US Theta II assembly line that created the issue. Made in Korea engines were unaffected.

but don't take my word for it.
