As far as any kind of warranty you are protected under the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnuson-Moss_Warranty_Act. If the dealer has anything to say about warrenty mention Magnuson Most Act and they normally stfu. lol 8)


I disagree with that. That's why Jeep gives you a Limited 36,000 mile Warranty or a Limited Lifetime Powertrain Warranty.

I believe, if you read the Magnuson-Moss Act, you will find that the word "Limited" in front of the word Warranty means that it does not meet the federal requirements of a warranty and therefore doesn't fall under any special federal warranty requirements.

Did you ever wonder why they called it a Limited Lifetime Powertrain Warranty, or a Limited 36,000 Mile Bumper to Bumper Warranty?

However, in this case, since the factory basically sells the exact same part as a user installed option, I doubt they would say that it voided your warranty.


I did ask the dealer before hand and they said it does not void the warranty. It also states on the AEM site that their intakes do not void warranty and if asked refer to the Magnuson-Moss Act. Just what knowledge i have found.

The dealer and or service provider has to prove that the "aftermarket part" in question is the direct cause of the failure. It's like saying my intake caused my rear end to blow up :?

i spoke with my dealer, as long as your aftermarket parts are not the cause of another problem, they have no issue continuing the warranty... who's to say if you make your car run better that you shouldn't be covered... obv it makes more sense that with better parts you would have less problems unless that is that you install it incorrectly
