I just bought a Dodge Charger and I wanted to amp up the powertrain with a tuner. I read online this could void my warranty, though. Will a tuner void my Dodge warranty?

Congrats on the new Dodge Charger!
Unfortunately, the internet is correct on this one: a tuner will void your Dodge warranty. This is because it will reprogram your Charger’s ECU, and the
Dodge
warranty specifically prohibits tampering with the ECU’s factory settings.
There may be some internet scholars out there who claim that you can just switch back to the factory tune before heading to the dealers, but this is very risky advice. If the Dodge dealer even suspects that you’ve altered the ECU, regardless of whether the tuner is still in there, there’s a high probability they’ll declare your warranty void.
Maintaining a valid Dodge warranty is crucial to saving money on future maintenance and repairs due to manufacturer errors. Another way you can protect your new Dodge is by maintaining quality
car insurance
coverage. With
