Does tuning void a Ford warranty?
I just got a Ford Mustang and I wanted to tune it up, but I’m worried this will affect my warranty. Does tuning void a Ford warranty?
Shannon Fitzgerald · Updated on

Congrats on the new Mustang! To answer you simply: Yes, tuning will very likely void your Ford warranty.
While the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act mandates that aftermarket parts themselves can’t void a warranty, it’s still perfectly legal for dealers to void warranties if a part impairs your vehicle’s systems.
Because tuning directly affects your ECU, it also directly affects what your ECU controls: the entire powertrain system. Therefore, most dealers will void any powertrain warranty if you install a tune—as it’s very difficult to prove that any damage to the powertrain system was not caused by that tune.
Keeping your Mustang’s warranty intact gives you important protection against any future manufacturer defects. You can amp up your protection by finding quality
