3. California Civil Code Section 1793.2(d) requires that, if Kia or its representative is unable to repair a new motor
vehicle to conform to the vehicle’s applicable express warranty after a reasonable number of attempts, Kia may be
required to replace or repurchase the vehicle. California Civil Code Section 1793.22(b) creates a presumption that

months from delivery to the buyer or 18,000 miles on the vehicle’s odometer, whichever occurs first,
one or more of
the following occurs:
•The same nonconformity [a failure to conform to the written warranty that substantially impairs the use, value or
safety of the vehicle] results in a condition that is likely to cause death or serious bodily injury if the vehicle is
driven AND the nonconformity has been subject to repair two or more times by Kia or its agents AND the buyer or
lessee has directly notified KIA of the need for the repair of the nonconformity; OR
•The same nonconformity has been subject to repair 4 or more times by Kia or its agents AND the buyer has
notified Kia of the need for the repair of the nonconformity; OR
•The vehicle is out of service by reason of repair of nonconformities by Kia or its agents for a cumulative total of
more than 30 calendar days after delivery of the vehicle to the buyer.
