Question:

If i putt a Air intake in my Dodge charger will it affect the warranty on my car?

I have a Dodge Charger i been thinking of putting a Air Intake on my car but im not sure if the warranty will get cancel any of you guys how the warranty on cars work

Answer:

Its saddening how little the average person knows about warranty, and their rights. For them to deny you warranty coverage they have to prove that the modification caused the damage that you are requesting be warrantied. For example, if your engine has an oil leak, they cant blame that on the intake, their-for it will be covered under warranty. The only problem area I can think of would be the MAF sensor, it senses the amount of air that is coming through the intake. Aftermarket intakes with oiled filters could possibly ruin this part due to some oil residue getting on it. This part is only around $100. But this should not happen unless you oil the filter excessively. Also if you buy a KN they will talk to your dealer, or even the manufacturer directly and fight for you, if your dealer is denying you warranty work due to the KN intake. KN also says their filters do not give off any oil residue. If you are getting an intake system, get KN they claim their filters give off no oil, and they will fight for you with the dealer if you are being denied warranty, even if it has to do with a MAF. CONSUMER PROTECTION PLEDGE We want to make sure that when you buy a KN Lifetime Air Filter or Air Intake System, you can be confident your vehicle's warranty will not be impacted. We also want you to feel confident that even if you experience difficulties with a dealership repair department, we will step-in and resolve the issue, so you won't have to. KN pledges to our customers that they will not be taken advantage of and charged for a repair due to a manufacturer warranty denial blamed on the presence of a KN product. Steven Rogers, CEO The truth is that oil does not come off our air filters, even under extreme conditions
save youre funds for something that concerns,examine it and you will locate it rather doesnt do a ingredient for power or mpg. How can companys justify the fee they ask for a clear out and slightly pipe with a ninety degree bend in it besides? the place is this--chilly -- air coming from ? some foot remote from the production unit region,think of approximately it. only my 2 cents
No, your warranty will not be void just by installing a cold air intake. Now if your intake has caused a issue with your vehicle then the manufacturer can choose not to honor the warranty if the intake was determined to have caused the problem. Say for example you sucked water into your engine because of the cold air intake system and you hydrolock the engine. They will most likely not replace your engine in this case. Now say your ac pump goes out, they cannot deny warranty because of the cold air intake, as it has nothing to do with the ac system.
