Expert Reply:
No, the warranty will not be affected whatsoever on your 2022 Kia Carnival by installing the Curt trailer hitch that fits, which is the following part number:
- Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C67ER
The reason why is because you are protected by what is called the Federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. This act says if something breaks on your vehicle and you take it in for warranty repair, the dealer must honor your warranty unless the part or install caused the problem. So for example, if you cut the fascia to install the hitch, then take off the hitch and bring it to Kia and say you want new fascia, that wouldn't be covered, if that makes sense.
But installing aftermarket parts like the Curt # C67ER will not void the warranty, no. Additionally, if you are also going to be using the hitch for towing, and need to add a wiring harness (which will also not void the warranty), the correct fit for your '22 Carnival is the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # CU94FR.
