    Default Void Warranty - 2015 ST L

    Will I void my warranty on a 2015 ST L if we install the BRP hitch ourselves?
    And tow a trailer not made by can am?
    I see a lot of people tow different trailers and have after market hitches.
    Anyone run into flack from Can Am with warranty issues? Thank you.

    A warranty can't be voided buy what you install. A dealer has to prove whatever part you added caused the damage you are trying to have covered by warranty. If they can prove it was your part, then they can deny that claim, but your warranty is still valid.

    I believe if your dealer installs the BRP hitch you get a warranty on it but if you install it yourself and it doesn't work you don't get the same warranty. As for pulling a nonBRP trailer Huked is correct that they would have to prove that the trailer was the cause of the issue that you want warranty coverage on.

    Tiny little hint - if the ball points toward the ground, it's probably not quite right.

    Ignore all the recommendations and comments above, except maybe SpyderAnn's. You're in Canada. Our rules don't mean nuthin' up there! You'll have to research Canadian warranty laws for yourself unless someone up there responds with good info.
