Grille Guard: Void Warranty???

[fly53usmc]

Howdy all. Any one hear a rumor that if you install a grille guard on your 2014 that it will void the warranty. I heard this second hand so calling it a rumor.

History. Went down to my local place that sells add ons such as tool box's, rails, guards, running boards and such. They finally got in a grilled guard for the 2014 GMC with sensors. But when I was in there Wed. the lady told me they had a few customers coming in with new Chevy pickups getting tint and they told her that our local GM dealer was having them sign a waiver stating if they installed a grilled guard would void the warranty. ( I purchased from same place back in September and didn't sign anything to that effect.) If Customer Care would want to chime in on this that would be great as I am set up to get one installed on my 2014 GMC on Monday afternoon. My prompt is that I hit a dear 3 weeks after getting the pickup and just now got the sensors installed. Took a month to get them in.

Need to add a bit more protection...

 

Thanks in advance.

Magnuson-Moss. It cant voud a warranty unless they can prove the specific added part caused the malfunction.

 

Ex. A grille guard wont cause an engine malfunction unless it was overheating. At that point they have to prove that the grille guard was restricting air flow to the radiator IF the fans were working.

I don't think I'd worry about it for the reason Chris stated.

Just an example of what they would have to do to void your warranty.

 

The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act is there to protect you.

Thanks. I have had many pickups over the years and have never heard this why I was asking. Talked to a friend that works at a GM dealership and he did say there is something there concerning the warranty but has never seen it enforced. As where we live half the pickups on the road have grille guards, just thought there might be something different with the 2014 models.
