View Full Version : Will aftermarket Headers Void warranty on our motors?

Look up the Magnasson-Moss act and enlighten yourself on the actual legality of voiding waranties. Basically, if the part doesn't directly cause the failure of another OEM part, then they cannot deny a waranty claim.

MaNaWaR Sat, Jan-22-2005, 02:49:46 AM sorry for the hijack, but can they void your warantee/free maintnence on clutch replace if you install SSK? not unless they can prove that that part did it :thumbsup: ARH1956 Sat, Jan-22-2005, 03:21:47 AM not unless they can prove that that part did it :thumbsup:Yeah, that sounds good, it's just not how it always works. If a dealership rejects a warranty claim for any reason & BMWNA agrees, MossMag... isn't going to get your car fixed without an expensive legal battle. Guess who has access to the better lawyers, you or BMW?
