3.3TT Is a leaking water pump hose covered under basic wtty?

[Rev_Night]

I brought my 2019 stinger (bought in dec 2019) into the shop today for the annual inspection. They said that my engine bay smelled of coolant. After a few hours, they called me and said that a hose is leaking at the water pump, call the dealer, maybe its under warranty.

I call Ourisman Kia in Chantilly, which blows btw, and they said they can't diagnose over the phone, to bring the car in. I plan to do this tomorrow.

Should this be covered under the limited basic warranty? 25K mileage, 4.5 years old.

Yes, bumper to bumper is good for five years. A hose fitting failure is positively covered.

Dealer might say "there is no leak".

So i got a text from Kia Ourisman saying what is wrong with my car:

1. Water Pump Replacement
2. Water Pump Gasket
3. Fuel Induction Service. Recommended every 30K mileage. My car is at 25K.
4. Oil change

will call and verify 1 and 2 is under wty

Is that item number 3, dealer specific? I don't see anything in the Kia service manual.
