Ask Bubbles!

[Toasty]

So Bubbles said if we have questions about service, warranty coverage, etc etc to ask away, so I figured I would start-

Does the 3yr/36K warranty cover the finish on the Fob too? the chrome on the fob (where the keyring goes) has all flaked off of mine, leaving it copper colored underneath...

Yes.

Do headers void the engine warranty??

Do headers void the engine warranty??

Did you also have it tuned cause that will for sure.

[KidKilowatt]

I haven't had anything done. Just contemplating. From what I understand the tune is undetectable in the v6 anyway.

[Bubbles]

Tuning the car voids the engine warranty. A snapshot of the ecm and tcm software version is required for engine transmission & differential replacements on V8 engines only at this time. The only time a V6 software snapshot would be called out is when a question of abuse is raised. That also applies in the cause of abnormal breakage or repair of any GM vehicle.

That being said, headers themselves will not void your warranty. The part replacement or addition (in the case of turbos or superchargers) has to cause the failure or breakage to cause action of GM to deny the claim. As well if they believe or can prove abuse or racing of the vehicle they have the right to deny the claim &/or block full or partial sections of the factory limited warranty, emission select, and the powertrain warranties.

That answer your question?

[KidKilowatt]

Thanks Bubbles, you have cleared things up for me.

You are quite welcome!

Why do they advertise the ZL1 at the strip using launch control if they'll void your warranty for racing.
