Less than 50,000 kilometers and malfunctioning E-CVVT and intake cam

TXCoyote

50,000 miles and failed CVVT and camshaft

I own a 2018 Kia Sportage, which displayed a check engine light accompanied by an error number of P0010.

I brought it to the dealership, where they informed me that my CVVT has significantly deteriorated and that my engine would fail if I attempted to drive it home.

They provided me with a quotation:
Camshaft intake, electronic continuously variable valve timing, and timing chain kit

Components: $2,400 Labor: $1,600

Total: 4,600 CAD, including components, labor, and taxes

I am uncertain how this could occur, since I drive cautiously and always adhere to maintenance protocols.

Furthermore, they said that my warranty lapsed in July, rendering all coverage void.

What is the oil change interval, which kind of oil, and what oil filter should be used?

Every 5000 kilometers, I use synthetic oil, and I am uncertain about the oil filter; I get it serviced at my local shop.

Do you routinely monitor the oil level between oil changes? The low oil level may have precipitated your problems.

Have you completed it?

It is advisable to get a second opinion, since dealers often misdiagnose issues and may not provide accurate assessments. They cannot be, since they are often compensated at a set fee.

If that is accurate, then you may have just experienced misfortune perhaps intensified by Hyundai/Kia's design.
