Due to their weight, aftermarket license plate frames cause excessive force on the screws holding the license plate and therefore void any and all power train warranty claims

It really depends on the dealer. If it gets to the point where you are citing law, unless you are a practicing lawyer of civil law, good luck. No one is really wrong here. If you can argue law good for you, you stand a fighting chance. IN COURT!! lol. I personally would rather save the time and money if it gets that far. Anywho, a car can be stock and still wont be covered in the warranty. Ex. Drive the s*** out of your car and burn out the clutch. Some will cover it and others won't. I find that being calm and understanding works. Just had o o this for the homelink mirror falling off my windshield yesterday. WOO!

Anyway, there are a list of parts developed by 3rd party major brands that are non-oem spec that can be bought at places NAPA, O'relies, Autozone, etc. That both do and do not void manufacture warranties. That while some dealers will refute warranty work on lets say K&N drop in air filter that caused a CEL, the modification is not out of bounds by the law. Many times customers have to deal with two separate systems of LAW vs Policy to get the work needed on their vehicle. M-M is there as a middle ground guide and has been used to protect consumers from warranty abuse, such as; "A car went to a shop, had a brake caliper replaced with a new replacement non-oem part, brake fails and car crashes. Is it the fault of the shop, the part, or the driver? Lets say its the part at fault, so you take it in to the dealer to get it repaired, dealer denies warranty work, due to policy." Warranties are really good for the majority of consumers in their first 3 years of ownership, as any problems that come up they don't have to worry about anything. Warranties for us tuners/enthusiasts are a bit of a double edged sword and can cause you more headache than you can imagine because you have the illusion of manufacture protection which inhibits your freedom as a owner. My recommendation is if you plan on doing any sort of mods, just forget about warranties all together.

Seems like few bothered to read this part:
Preventative Solutions/Tips: 1) Try to have your vehicle serviced at a dealership that is fair and reasonable with respect to vehicle modifications. Inquire as to the dealership's stance regarding modifications before going in for service with aftermarket parts installed. Some dealerships are owned by enthusiasts and they appreciate the modifications performed by owners, and other dealerships don't want to deal with the potential liability or headaches that come with servicing modified vehicles under warranty. There are many dealerships that take no issue with modifications such as air intakes, cat-back exhausts, lowering springs, and aftermarket wheels, but draw the line at more involved modifications such as forced induction or aftermarket tunes. Conversely, there are dealerships that will take issue with minor modifications such as an aftermarket air filter or an axle-back exhaust. |
