AFTERMARKET PRODUCTS AND YOUR VEHICLE’S WARRANTY
Many of our customers ask, “Will your product void my vehicle manufacturer’s
warranty?” While the answer is straightforward from a legal standpoint, we also
want to educate our customers (and after-market consumers) on some industry
realities and offer some common sense precautions to minimize your risk.

Consumers of aftermarket products are protected by The Federal Magnusson-Moss
Warranty Act. The Act states that if something breaks on your car and you take it
in for warranty repair, the dealer must honor your warranty unless they can prove
that whatever modifications you have added to your car actually caused the
problem. Please keep in mind that towing in anything higher than level two is not
recommended.

While as a consumer, you have strong legal protection with regards to your
vehicle’s warranty, there is also a practical reality that different automotive
manufacturers and dealers have greatly varying views on aftermarket products, in
particular those that produce horsepower, such as performance enhancement chips,
modified intake manifolds, or aftermarket exhaust systems. There are dealers and
manufacturers out there that will use the presence of a horsepower upgrade to void
your vehicle’s warranty. They will do this regardless of whose product you are
using. Any aftermarket company that does not acknowledge this is misleading
you.

The bottom line is that while the law protects the consumer and provides for
enforcement of the warranty, it is very difficult for most people to hire an attorney
and fight a voided warranty. Edge recommends that you always disconnect and
remove your EZ module when you take your vehicle to a dealer for warranty
work in order to not interfere with Diagnostic equipment.
