Considering that I'm still under the HPP warranty, I was wondering what kind of mods I'm able to do without voiding it. Can anyone tell me what won't void the warranty?

Mud guards ... LOL.

I have a 2006 Azera, and there isn't much you can do ... and really, not much it would need. Might ask for the tape deck for Christmas. Other than needing mud guards, it's almost perfect. The body shape allows for road moisture to get all over the sides. A real mess to clean up, but it's a beauty when it's clean. This is like a sporty luxury car. People mistake it for a BMW. We love it.

Some people are signing on but not telling us about their Hyundai ... what models are you folks driving? Is this site supposed to be more for people that want to modify their Hyundai, or for people that are happy with their cars?

as far as i can tell hyundai,s stand on mods is if a failure occurs as a direct result of the mod then it is void on that spcific part only. for egsample if you fitted non gen brake pads and the brake discs or rotors warped they wouldnt be covered (this applies to the uk only) not sure about worldwide though.

Assuming you're in the U.S., the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. 2302(C)) applies. In essence, it says

quote:

Legally, a vehicle manufacturer cannot void the warranty on a vehicle due to an aftermarket part unless they can prove that the aftermarket part caused or contributed to the failure in the vehicle
