They might void is if a change you did blew the mod it was for that would void warranty but forscan changes doesn’t do anything but allow certain features.

Any chance you can ask the "Ford Tech of many years" to provide us with one (1) example of a "warranty voided" that was associated with FORScan?

Yes, i will ask that specific question!

if I were Ford, I would be rolling up the Brinks truck to do whatever it takes to hire @Jesse-Infotainment but their loss is our gain (and I can say that from experience!)

yep he is an awesome guy
with a big heart.

Thanks for all your responses, confirming my underlying assumption. I’ve done a few minor basic changes and was looking at more. Nothing extravagant to impact power train but the one that annoy 99% of us (useless chimes and nanny BS). Again thank you and will post actual Ford tech opinion or actual facts with photos!

The only Forscan mod I can think of that would void a warranty would be turning the DRL LEDs up from the factory setting and they burn out early. Another possible warranty issue would be someone completely messing up a module and not having a backup doing mods incorrectly and taking it to the dealership to be fixed. Everything else is not likely to cause any issues with the vehicle or cause a need for repair.

The federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (MMWA) prohibits a manufacturer from 'voiding a warranty' because of 'unauthorized' mods or installation of 'unauthorized' parts. Whether or not a manufacturer or dealer detects those things has no bearing.

MMWA does allow a manufacturer to decline warranty coverage, but only to the extent that an otherwise eligible part failed due to the 'unauthorized' mod. Even IF that occurs, all other warranty coverage remains intact for parts not affected by the mod.

Thank you for saving me 10 minutes of typing this information ... yet again. I get SO @#$% tired of the "Does X void my warranty?" questions.

Use the search, people. This topic has been beat to death forever.
