Dealer tow install


Recommended Posts

Just get it in writing, and signed by the owner of the dealership, that your warranty will not be voided. I have no problems with our dealership (Maplecrest in Union, NJ) but my sister in law got screwed BIG TIME at the dealership where she bought her Five Hundred from, regarding her extended warranty.

Any aftermarket accessory installation that causes a related or direct failure will raise a flag with the service warranty guys. It does not void your warranty just because it was installed - only if it causes a problem.

 

For example: hitch install without transmission oil cooler (where the factory hitch includes the cooler) and the transmission/engine overheats. Not Ford's responsibility.

 

Installation of a wiring harness shorts and takes out a computer - not Ford's responsibility. Aftermarket power amps take out speakers, mounted spoiler causes a leak into the trunk, oil soaked intake filters foul the mass air flow sensor, etc. Not Ford's responsibility.

 

I wouldn't worry about it if the installer knows what they are doing and how you will be towing. If you are planning on exceeding the recommended limits, they should tell you the risks and you should accept them on your own.
