What Mods WILL void your warrenty?
I know some simple things won't.
but....... as far as I know, I want exhaust, headers, intake, and suspension done. Are there anything else that will void / not void the warrenty? |
If the dealership can justify that one of your mods was the cause of a problem, they can void the warranty for that problem ... I think.

^+1 thats what ive heard
|
Plus they won't warranty any of your aftermarket goodies :bowrofl:

There isn't one magical mod you can do that will void the warranty on the entire car. If you modify the suspension and your wheel falls off, then you are probably SOL. If you've modded your suspension and your rearview mirror falls off, they may try to blame it on your suspension for causing excessive vibration. That would be up to the dealership. If you've modded your exhaust and your power seat stops working, then that's still covered because they are completely unrelated. Make sense?

^ RASETSU: good point....
^^True that they will have to proof that certain mod causes the whatever you claim to void your warranty but you know how stealerships are. They will try every way to take money from your pocket, that's where they make money. Prepare for headaches trying to fight with them. Unless you have a friendly mech and service manager. |

I get it.. Thanks a bunch! |
Yeah, what rasetsu is all correct. Plus, its all dealership discretion. I've had horror stories on the Honda Prelude board I used to be on where the motor went out, and the customer had an intake on the car. Warranty was voided. At the same time, I destroyed my transmission, had intake, exhaust, and pullies on my car, and they didn't ask a single question. covered it under warranty right away.
Just find a cool service manager and make friends with him. |
Read the Magnusson Moss Warranty Act, all your questions will be answered
