ADDITIONAL WARRANTY INFORMATION
Consumers of aftermarket products are protected by the Federal Magnus-
son-Moss Warranty Act. The Act states that if something breaks on your
vehicle and you take it in for warranty repair, the dealer must honor your
warranty unless whatever modications you have added to your vehicle
actually caused the problem in question.
However, the reality is that many dealerships have been known to void war-
ranties on vehicles that use aftermarket products as a matter of policy. This
applies in particular to those aftermarket products that produce horsepow-
er, such as performance enhancement “chips,” modied intake manifolds, or
aftermarket exhaust systems, regardless of product brand.
You have strong legal protection as a consumer in regard to your vehicle’s
warranty. However, Superchips strongly recommends you always disconnect
and remove your module/programmer and monitor when you take your ve-
hicle to a dealer for warranty work. In addition, leaving the product connect-
ed may aect dealer diagnostic analysis and scan tool functions. Superchips
makes every eort to produce product that can be easily removed.
NOTE: Even if you disconnect your unit, your dealer can detect the use of
any programmer—even if the unit has been removed.
CAUTION: Return your vehicle to stock before taking it to a service center.
All Superchips modules and programmers are built to operate with OEM
calibrations. If you take your vehicle to a service center they may, by your
request or otherwise, update your vehicle’s calibrations. If this happens and
your vehicle has not been returned to stock your device will no longer be
capable of programming your vehicle. Therefore it is important that you
return your vehicle to stock before taking it in for service. Superchips up-
dates its active products (i.e. those currently being manufactured) to work
eectively with updated OEM calibrations. However, this process can take
some time as Superchips is not always made aware of calibration changes
made by the OEM. In the case of discontinued products, Superchips cannot
ensure that your unit will work eectively if you take your vehicle to a deal-
ership and you are given, by your request or otherwise, a new calibration.
CAUTION: If you have used another tuner/programmer on your vehicle,
you will need to program the vehicle back to stock and remove the device
before using the Superchips TrailDash. Failure to return to stock may re-
sult in PCM failure or engine damage. Programming your vehicle may ex-
pose existing defects in the vehicle’s PCM that could disable your vehicle.
It is advised that you do not program your vehicle in remote locations in
case of vehicle failure.
