What is the average lifespan of a Kia Sorento's timing belt?

I've heard that timing belts need to be replaced regularly, but I'm wondering if this is the same for Kia Sorento's. How often should I replace the timing belt on my Kia Sorento and what happens if I don't replace it?

According to Kia's maintenance schedule, the timing belt should be replaced every 60,000 to 100,000 miles. If you don't replace it, the timing belt can snap or break, causing major damage to your engine and potentially leaving you stranded on the side of the road.

I recommend following the recommended maintenance schedule and replacing the timing belt every 60,000 miles. It may seem like an unnecessary expense, but it's a small cost compared to the potential damage of not replacing it.

I've been driving a Kia Sorento for over 10 years and have never had any issues with the timing belt. I would recommend checking it regularly for signs of wear and tear, but if it's in good condition, you may be able to stretch the replacement interval.
