By promoting the lie 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 attempt to 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.
I have invested in equipment and software from TechnoResearch to be able to do everything Harley’s “Digital Technician” can do and more. It’s an all-inclusive system that allows us to do all the Diagnostics AND Flash Tuning. What does this mean to you??? I can tune your Delphi fuel injected Harley (any year) using wide-band O2 sensors, tuning each cylinder independently in both air/fuel ratios and timing. Also, I can program new ECM’s and Security Modules, Bleed & Purge ABS braking systems, Calibrate (flash) the new audio systems for upgrades, program your security system key fobs, and more. You no longer have to subject yourself to the dealer’s service department! YES, THIS INCLUDES 2017-2023 MODELS!
Don’t put your motorcycle in the hands of just any mechanic! You can expect first-rate, experienced service with quick turn-around times, so you can get back out on the road.
FTC Approves Final Orders in Right-to-Repair Cases Against Harley-Davidson
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 they can deny warranty coverage on that basis. What’s more, dealers cannot void your warranty themselves, only the manufacturer can. Dealers can only make suggestions to the manufacturer. Dealers cannot refuse to perform warranty services unless and until the manufacturer makes a ruling on it. To challenge a dealer’s claim about voiding warranties, ask them 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.
