Does the supercharger void my new vehicle warranty? No. It is against Federal Law for a Dealer to refuse a warranty claim because an aftermarket product has been installed on your vehicle. If a warranty is denied, contact the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) at (202) 260-2080 or www.epa.gov or the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at (202) 326-3128 or www.ftc.gov. Additional information is available at the SEMA (Specialty Equipment Manufacturers Association) website www.sema.org. Kenne Bell is a member of SEMA.
Are Kenne Bell Supercharger Kits "50 State Legal?" Since 1991, all our kits have been "50 State Legal" with a California Air Resource Board Exemption Number. Some kits may be only "49 State Legal" and in the process of being California certified so, if in doubt, check with us. You can also check the internet at http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/aftermk...ES/devices.htm. Then type in "supercharger system."

No your warranty won't be voided completely, but if you blow your motor good luck getting Ford to replace it. But if your window motor quits working then that would still be under warranty.

Right, like Shortbus said, it has to do with what part on your car goes bad. The only way they can void a warranty is if the aftermarket product you added causes the part to go bad. In this case, youre adding a supercharger therefore they wont replace your motor if you blow it up adding 24 lbs of boost.

It will not void your warentee... however, if Ford feels it directly caused the failure, they WILL refuse to make the repair.

Also - we have had people in the past post their experience of haveing to FIGHT Ford to get something covered even though the modification did NOT contribute to the failure. They still won, but they had to go through a bunch of hoops to get it done.

Ford - to save money - will deny every claim they can for what ever excuse they can, it is up to YOU the consumer to justifiy your case and force Ford to honor the warentee work.

If Ford installs a "Roush" S/C ,they will cover your damage,provides it is within 3 years of install.If you modify the pulley and increase the charge(only 5 psi)they will void the warranty.You then will then have to force the issue.It is a Roots blower,and not everyone like this type.

bl1nk

Ford only covers Roush blowers provided they are installed and certified through Ford. If you go buy a Roush blower and install it yourself and one week later your engine blows up the front of your car they arent going to fix your car. Same with the Saleen blowers. And I doubt they would cover a KB sc anyways seen as how they dont install them. Now if you took it to your dealership they might install it for you for a price, but that doesnt mean it will be covered under your warranty.

QuickShortBus

Technically the motors with Roush and Saleen s/c's installed are warrantied by Roush and Saleen not Ford. Roush also places a maximum of $5k on the claim.

O, my mistake, I thought Ford covered them.

more power always hurts the engine! when ford gives us the warranty, the basicly say this.. 'dude, we built this car and we are guarantee you if this car breaks down in 36 months, the way we build, then we will repair it for you! but when you add S/C to your car, that thing will make your motor work faster, and harder launches, etc.. and sure if you would have problem with it, then ford will refuse to repair it and l think they are RIGHT! about 50 state legal thing is a big BULL****, dude, we are not talking about legal or illegal. we are talking about warranty.. cold air intake is legal too but will avoid the warranty! anything adds performance to the car will avoid your warranty.. if you dont believe me, go and ask or try and see what is happening!

You've got to work on your presentation man, not everything is a damned conflict around here.

Have a point of view, but lighten up eh?
