Lifted from www.powerchipgroup.com, something to consider when while applying 2.7 Bar of Boost :roll: ....

New Car Warranty Information: If your car is covered by a new or dealer warranty, the dealer may not void the warranty simply because you have upgraded the software controlling the car’s ECU. The Specialty Equipment Manufacturer Association (SEMA) has made the following statements regarding such aftermarket products:

"...The vehicle manufacturer is not allowed to void the vehicle warranty just because aftermarket equipment is installed on the vehicle..."

"...In cases where such a failed aftermarket part is responsible for a warranty claim, the (vehicle) manufacturer must arrange a settlement with the part manufacturer, but the new vehicle warrant is not void under the law..."

"...If the failure to honor a claim involves the new-vehicle warranty, and it appears that the (vehicle) manufacturer is improperly denying a claim, the incident should be reported to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC)..."

Good point XF,

me thinks that the onus will still be on the buyer to prove the mod didn't cause the damage, rather than being on Ford to prove that the mod caused it. But it demonstrates that as always "let the buyer beware." In other words any of us undertaking enhancent should check out the Government legislation prior to such surgery.

No doubt you will have put a smile on some people's dials including mine, good work XFwannaBA.

Ditto kt mate....Ditto

sh*thot!!!! where's the nearest Uni-Chip dealer....

I suspect this is U.S. decision enforecable under U.S. law. The FTC is likely to be the U.S equivalent of the Trade Practices Commission.

The Yanks are a litigious group. They have a tendency to sue anybody for anything.

Be wary of trying to apply this approach under Australian law.

Never thought of that Northerly but in Hindsight you may be right, I think powerchip are getting Big in the States, courtesy of Stuart Appleby(I think),his one million dollars and his BMW M5.

Here the full page link chaps, maybe you can read better into it:

Perhaps it may be worth dropping an email to them and enquiring?

Ah...On closer inspection:

Every Powerchip performance software upgrade sold to customers residing in North America comes with an unconditional 14-day money back guarantee.

I discovered this little page by tracking through the Aussie links, this could be very misleading to the untrained, over zealous, under boosted eye...

WARRANTY ISSUES,,,, Depends on who you talk to. Ford Dealer "anything modified on the car may and can effect warranty" no shocks there. Made a call to Rynor at APS who assures me that "the motor company cannot void warranty unless the cause is directly related to the mod done." also no shocks there. I guess it all come down to, do you want the mod and willing are to take the risk, or be happy with the car as is. APS Phase II will be all tooled up and ready for general fitment Sept Oct. If you are interested in the price PM me or give APS a call. ...287(min) rwkw, have to be happy with that!

SORRY CANT TALK I AM JUST BOLTING NOS TO MY CAR !!!!! I BE GONE FOR A COUPLE DAYS B)
