So a performance clutch that causes excessive wear on my transmission and differential will cause warranty coverage for my stock air intake to be null and void? The point I am trying to make here is that there is no loss of warranty coverage. It's just a question of whether your claim will be accepted or denied, by either the warranty work performing dealer, or by corporate. Understanding this is key for enthusiasts in keeping their rights.... there is no loss of warranty coverage at all. -alex |

Years ago I had an employer make everyone at my company sign restrictive covenant agreements (non-competes) that would prevent any of us from working in our business for six months if we quit or were fired. Everybody panicked, and some people actually quit instead of signing. But I talked to a lawyer, and he said, "Go ahead and sign it. It's unenforceable. State labor law trumps their silly contract, and they know it. They're just trying to bully the employees into thinking they're trapped." It's a common bullying tactic. A contract is only enforceable as far as statute allows. If you have a statute that specifically contradicts what's in the contract, as Magnusson-Moss does with warranty work and as state labor law did with our restrictive covenants, the statute prevails and the contract language is meaningless. |

But the main issue I have is that a custom tune will cause your engine to be denied any warranty claims. That's my original point I tried getting across, but failed to do so. Mav, I apologize for incessantly arguing with you on the matter of voiding a warranty. I'll delete those posts if possible. |

The whole point of this thread, though, was that even if the manufacturer denies the warranty claim, they're not the final authority and can be overturned by a judge or arbitrator, and knowing this, they tend to throw the word void around to intimidate people into thinking they ARE the final authority so the customer will just pay up and not challenge it in court. I suspect that tactic works more often than not. |

Many times, people come on here and ask "what mods will void my warranty" like they will lose out on something if they decide to add something to the car. I'd rather be a total ass about this subject if it means more people understand what rights they have. This way, enthusiasts can make more informed choices when it comes to car mods and we all win. -alex |
