Your Hyundai warranty offers comprehensive coverage that will help to keep your vehicle safe and give you added confidence in the parts and workmanship of your vehicle. It’s helpful to understand coverage, however, and the factors that affect your warranty—including replacement parts. Learn how using aftermarket parts may impact your warranty support with help from Huntington Beach Hyundai.
Aftermarket Parts and Your Hyundai Warranty
Using third-party parts for your vehicle does not automatically void its manufacturer warranty. In the 1970s, a law was passed call the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, which prevents automakers from voiding warranties for using independent parts or service support. Now, if there is an effort to reject a warranty claim, the automaker must prove that the aftermarket product was specifically to blame, and they can only refuse warranty support for issues related to that part.
Benefits of Using OEM Parts
The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act gave drivers more options to suit their lifestyles and budgets, but there are still many key benefits to using OEM parts over aftermarket parts. To start, OEM parts are made specifically for your vehicle, meaning you never need to worry about grinding or scraping surrounding parts during installation or use. They are also made to a higher quality standard than aftermarket parts, meaning fewer repairs and replacements over time. Most importantly, OEM parts come with their own comprehensive warranty coverage, for even more peace of mind.
