Doesn't guarantee anything.My SA told me that my rpi air scopes and bmc filters are fine. He said any software changes will void the warranty.
What????? Your motor blew and the dealer used the offset of your aftermarket wheels as the reason for the difference? Did they ever explain how the offset caused the motor to blow? You could have sued using Magnuson Moss.....but it would have cost ya..No such thing....Only thing you can count on is how friendly your dealers service department will be. Dont listen to people when they say the dealer has to "prove" aftermarket items affected problems or issues. I've been through a lot of different issues. From where a dealer let me bring back the OEM part and switched it out so it could be covered under warranty and I have seen my warranty void when my motor blew because the offset of the "aftermarket wheels" were different.

That is one wild arse story. I too would want to read the details of how this came to be the explanation.No such thing....Only thing you can count on is how friendly your dealers service department will be.

Intake/exhaust would have been easier to prove I would think, how were those not mods but wheels were? :eek7:Yep i quoted that verbally and in a letter but the fine print in the warranty coverage aggrement wins. Make sure you guys read the details in the warranty. Pretty much if you alter the vehicle in any way the manufacture/extended warranty can be null and void.
Bottom line. It depends on who you deal with. Some SA will go the extra mile to make sure you are covered even if you mess up the parts, and sometimes a dick of an adjuster will just use anything in their book to get off not paying for coverage.
The issue with the vehicle. 02 acura cl-s with i/h/e wheels and suspension work, driving home one day and engine stalls. Try to start but the motor does not turn but has a weird noise when trying to start. Thought maybe coils or timing belt. Turns out it was a hole in one of the pistons. Told me that warranty was void because of the different size wheels and offset. I knew they wanted to pin it on the bolt ons but it would be hard for them to prove so they went with the most convenient way, use another mod to negate everything else. They wanted to charge me 5500 but after many long hours talking with a lawyer and Service manager just settled with a 1500 bill for a used motor. Made me realize that dont be fooled by anyone telling you your warranty is good with simple bolt ons. If you decide to play prepare to pay if something happens...
