Driveline Warranty for Performance Packages & Modified Vehicles
18th Dec 2018
"Will these performance upgrades void my manufacturer warranty???"
This is a very common question we get asked at LSX Performance Parts.
Lets face it - Voiding your manufacturers warranty is the biggest reason to hold off on those upgrades you have always planned on doing to your pride & joy.
Fact is, ANY performance upgrade you do will run the risk of voiding your current manufacturers warranty & therefore leave you exposed to pay for potentially costly mechanical costs.
By modifying your car whilst under manufacturer warranty, The insurer/underwriter will mitigate their risk by enforcing that you have voided your warranty terms & conditions which will allow the manufacturer to wipe their hands of any claims that may arise.
The most popular performance upgrades are:
- Intake Upgrades
- Exhaust Upgrades
- Camshaft Packages
- Cylinder Head upgrades
- Stroker Engines
- Boost upgrades for supercharged engines | LSA
So, This leaves us with two options -
- Understand that the performance package that you are planning on doing is going to void your warranty. You decide to go ahead with it & enjoy the upgrades, Knowing that you are not covered.
- Weigh up your risk & choose to wait until the manufacturer warranty expires & do the upgrades the second the warranty expires
These have been your only two options - Until now...
