How Does the 2026 Hyundai 30-Year/300,000-Mile Warranty Work?
The Super Certified 30-year/300,000-mile warranty at #1 Phil Long Hyundai of Motor City is an exclusive dealer-backed powertrain protection policy that extends coverage on key engine, transmission, and drive axle components for up to 30 years or 300,000 miles for original owners. It supplements Hyundai's standard 5-year/60,000-mile bumper-to-bumper factory warranty and 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. Repairs are accepted at any ASE-certified service center nationwide.
This extended coverage is designed to give vehicle buyers complete long-term confidence. While standard factory warranties provide 5 years or 60,000 miles of whole-vehicle coverage and 5 years with unlimited miles of 24/7 roadside assistance, our Super Certified protection extends powertrain security far beyond typical industry limits. Original owners who complete their purchase through our dealership receive protection that lasts up to three decades on covered mechanical components.
Navigating the details of vehicle ownership plans is straightforward when you work with our knowledgeable team. Our sales advisors notice that buyers exploring three-row family vehicles often ask how dealership coverage interacts with factory limits before looking at financing options. To see how this coverage fits your driving needs, stop by our Motor Way showroom or give our team a quick call today.

What Major Powertrain Components and Deductibles Are Covered?
The Super Certified 30-year/300,000-mile warranty covers internal mechanical engine parts, cylinder blocks and heads, transmission cases, transaxle assemblies, and front and rear drive axle systems. Most covered repairs under this program require a nominal $50 deductible per service visit.
Powertrain coverage focuses specifically on the mechanical assemblies that generate and deliver power to the wheels. Inside the engine, covered items include pistons, crankshafts, camshafts, valvetrain components, timing chains, oil pumps, and water pumps. For the transmission and transaxle systems, coverage encompasses internal gears, shafts, torque converters, vacuum modulators, and transmission control modules contained within the housing. Drive axle coverage protects differential housings, constant velocity joints, drive shafts, and universal joints.
- Engine Assembly: Cylinder block, cylinder heads, internal lubricated parts, timing gears, and oil pump.
- Transmission & Transaxle: Case, internal gears, torque converter, transfer case, and internal seals.
- Drive Axle System: Front and rear drive housings, axle shafts, bearings, and constant velocity joints.
- Out-of-Pocket Cost: A standard $50 deductible per repair visit on covered powertrain components.
Routine maintenance items, wear-and-tear parts like brake pads and wiper blades, and cosmetic cabin materials fall outside powertrain scope, though many remain protected under the initial 5-year/60,000-mile factory coverage. Pairing this protection with clear financial planning ensures predictable ownership costs. You can begin exploring your purchase options by prequalifying for financing online before selecting your vehicle.

Which New and Pre-Owned Hyundai Models Qualify for 30-Year Protection?
All new, unused 2026 and 2027 Hyundai vehicles purchased at #1 Phil Long Hyundai of Motor City automatically qualify for Super Certified 30-year/300,000-mile coverage, while select pre-owned Hyundai vehicles qualify after passing a rigorous 173-plus-point inspection. Also, any Certified Pre-Owned Hyundai under 60,000 miles at time of sale also includes, at no-charge, the Super Certified 30-year/300,000-mile coverage.
Our new vehicle inventory features models equipped with advanced powertrains built for daily driving and high-altitude highway cruising. For instance, the 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe SEL 2.5 features a Smartstream 2.5L engine generating 277 hp and 311 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed SHIFTRONIC transmission. Front-wheel-drive configurations earn EPA estimates of 20 city / 29 hwy / 24 combined MPG, while all-wheel-drive variants post 20 city / 28 hwy / 23 combined MPG. Compact crossovers like the 2026 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid utilize a 1.6L engine delivering 38 city / 38 hwy MPG, offering exceptional efficiency for suburban commuters in Security - Widefield driving near local military bases and schools.
Eligible pre-owned models undergo a thorough inspection process verifying vehicle history, engine compression, transmission fluid condition, and drive axle integrity. Vehicles that meet strict age and mileage parameters receive Super Certified status, giving pre-owned buyers similar powertrain reassurance as new-car shoppers.

What Happens to Your Warranty Coverage When You Trade In or Transfer Your Hyundai?
Trading in your vehicle terminates the Super Certified 30-year/300,000-mile warranty coverage for the original owner, as the extended coverage is non-transferable upon trade-in or resale. However, if the underlying factory 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty or 5-year/60,000-mile limited warranty has remaining time or mileage, that factory portion carries over to the subsequent private owner.
The Super Certified policy is structured exclusively as a benefit for the original purchaser who bought the vehicle directly from our dealership. When you trade in your vehicle at our store, the 30-year policy ends for that vehicle, but any trade-in equity can be applied directly toward a new Hyundai model that carries its own fresh 30-year/300,000-mile warranty protection.
- Trade-In Policy Termination: Extended dealer coverage ends for the seller upon vehicle trade-in or sale.
- Factory Coverage Transfer: Remaining factory warranty limits (such as the standard 5-year/60,000-mile limited warranty) transfer to subsequent private owners.
- Contract Transfer Provisions: Where third-party service contracts or specific transferable policies permit ownership transfer, standard procedures require an administrative transfer fee and ownership documentation verification within contract timeframes.
If you are thinking about upgrading your current vehicle, our appraisal team can help you evaluate your current vehicle equity. You can start by valuing your trade-in online to estimate your vehicle's current market value.
