Will Toyota honor "exhaust" defect (warranty) if modded? - Toyota Yaris Forums

the more i read you guys, the more i feel so glad i live in Canada, or better yet, i live in the province of Quebec, more specifically Montreal.
Toyota dealers here work really hard to provide the best services you can get. Especially when we have one who is supporting/sponsoring the Quebec forum.

They would have to prove that the part you changed directly caused the problem you are experiencing. ie, you have an aftermarket exhaust muffler, and one of your o2 sensor connection is corroding. There is no link between the 2 things that can possible make the o2 sensor mal-function. Therefore, the warranty is still valid.

If i take another example...
Your headlights are not working, it turns out to be a fuse. So they will change the fuse at no cost. But, let's say you installed HIDs, then you are LESS likely to have the part changed under warranty, and you'll be very likely to pay for the labour and the part(s).
