No modification casn void an entire warranty, under US law (Magnusen-Moss Warranty Act). Any mod can void a portion of the warranty if it can be shown that the mod was a cause of, aggravated, or was related to a specific failure.

:agree: Sad part is, "THEY" rarely "EVER" have to actually "PROVE" anything:shocked:

Most cases I've seen, it comes down to your relationship with your dealer and if they will go to bat with the manufacturer for you over a particular issue.

Can anyone on this forum actually say, from 1st hand experience, where BRP had "PROVED" anything that caused a failure:dontknow:

Most cases I've seen, the dealer commincates with the manufacturer what they think caused the issue and asks for it to be covered, and the manufacturer either agrees or disagrees and then, in the cases where they disagree & the manufacturer denies a claim, that's where you see all these threads posted about BRP NOT standing behind their product. In my 2 years on this forum, I can't recall anyone (besides maybe doc) that had a subjective issue actually proven out to say definatively one way or the other.

If I'm wrong here, please speak up, but one caveat, your mothers stepsitters babysitter doesn't count as 1st hand experience:lecturef_smilie:

It is quite subjective, and a lot will have to do with how much fight is in the customer with the issue. I don't recall reading about anyone having warranty issues as a result of installing the SpyderPops block off plate (There's a lot of stuff on here, so there may be an example, I just haven't read it) I do see some issues posted where, again it is subjective. Somebody's clutch went after a short time. The manufacturer, If I recall was calling that a "wear item", and therefore not covered. To me, without knowing all the details, that sounds like the manufacturer trying to squeak through a loophole. I saw another one where they were claiming a fuel management system was the culprit, but it appears that the customer may have been fighting that, because I thought they changed their tune and said it was over-revving the engine that caused the issue.
I use the following logic...
Any mod that is installed that directly interacts / effects the original machine, you can expect a fight of some sort. If the mod MAY be used as an excuse (an overheated motor and a Spyderpops plate installed), that is easy to remove prior to taking it to the dealer.
So it boils down to what system failed, and were there any mods that may impact that...
I also don't put anything (that may interact / impact the machine) on that isn't easily reversible.

If your dealer will fight for you, almost anything can be waived.
The dealer is in the unique position of spending BRP's money.

It's a relationship thing, as is the case for everything.

If you have a good relationship with the dealer

--- and ---

the dealer has a good relationship with BRP then
IMHO almost anything could be covered.

:agree: The dealer is probably the first one you should ask about a proposed mod. If they say it is OK, you shouldn't have any warranty issues, since they process the warranty work. Some dealers are against all mods, and play the "void your warrnty" card, and some accept them as normal.. It is good to know which type your dealer is...up front.

Please add me to the "Doc" list. My dealer and BRP worked hard with my RT-S on the "Clutch" issue before it became a well known issue. And the DPS added to another members challenges as our RT-S had the issue repeatable with our Dealer and BRP. I had TB pip, Tuner, Air cleaner the works... Both issues became re-calls. Both "Claims" they tried to say it was the Tuner causing the issue at first. The threads are in the archives for reference... :thumbup:


May I add... I agree with others. Speak with your dealer, or more importantly.. The Dealers Shop Manager. As he/she is the direct contact when his/her techs need authorization for repairs...
