Will the ThunderMax EFI System void my new motorcycle warranty?
You want to upgrade your motorcycle with the ThunderMax, but you’re worried about your bike’s new vehicle warranty. By promoting the myth that aftermarket equipment automatically voids warranties, some dealers avoid warranty work. Under the Magnuson-Moss Act, aftermarket equipment which improves performance does not void a vehicle manufacturer’s original warranty. A dealer must prove that aftermarket equipment caused the need for repairs before he can deny warranty coverage on that basis. To challenge a false claim, ask the dealer to put it in writing. If they refuse to give you a written statement, this is a violation of Federal law. The Federal Trade Commission , which administers the Magnuson-Moss Act, monitors compliance with warranty issues. Direct your dealer complaints to the FTC at (202) 326-3128.
