Will Installing a Trailer Hitch on a 2012 Kia Rio Void the Warranty  

Question:

Expert Reply:

When you install an aftermarket part on your vehicle like a trailer hitch in this case, you are protected by the Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act. This act states, in part, that unless the installation and the part caused a problem then the warranty cannot be voided. I recommend looking it up online.

I have also included a link to the installation instructions for the Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 24883. This does not come with a ball mount. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256 and for a 2 inch use # 19258. For trailer wiring you can use # HM11143964. I have linked instructions for the wiring as well.

Be sure to consult the owner's manual and/or a Kia dealer to determine if the vehicle can be used to tow.
