Warranty Concerns

Original equipment manufacturer warranties are completely unaffected by the installation of a Reiner Bypass Filter with the provision that Reiner Filtration Inc. takes full responsibility for its own product.

Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. 2302(C))

This federal law regulates warranties for the protection of consumers. The essence of the law concerning aftermarket auto parts is that a vehicle manufacturer may not condition a written or implied warranty on the consumers using parts or services which are identified by brand, trade, or corporate name (such as the vehicle maker's brand) unless the parts or service are provided free of charge. The law means that the use of an aftermarket part alone is not cause for denying the warranty. However, the law's protection does not extend to aftermarket parts in situations where such parts actually caused the damage being claimed under the warranty. Further, consumers are advised to be aware of any specific terms or conditions stated in the warranty which may result in its being voided. The law states in relevant part:

“No warrantor of a consumer product may condition his written or implied warranty of such product on the consumers using, in connection with such product, any article or service (other than article or service provided without charge under the terms of the warranty) which is identified by brand, trade or corporate name...” (15 U.S.C. 2302(C)).

CATERPILLAR

"When auxiliary devices, accessories or consumables (filters, oil, additives, catalysts, fuel, etc.) made by other manufacturers are used on Caterpillar products, the Caterpillar warranty is not affected simply because of such use. Failures that result from the installation or usage of other manufacturers auxiliary devices, accessories or consumables, however, are not Caterpillar factory defects and therefore are NOT covered by Caterpillar’s warranty."

CUMMINS

"Cummins, Inc. neither approves nor disapproves any product which we do not manufacture or sell. The use of non-Cummins products is at the discretion of the end-user, and any problems attributed to these products would not be recognized as a Cummins responsibility. Our warranty covers defects in workmanship and/or material as manufactured and sold by Cummins; therefore, the use of any product sold in the marketplace not manufactured by Cummins would not affect our warranty. However, any engine performance problem or failure caused by products or components not manufactured or sold by Cummins is not considered by Cummins as a warrantable type of failure."

JOHN DEERE

"The mere installation of a bypass filtration system on a John Deere engine will not automatically void the engine warranty. However, the engine warranty will not apply if the installation and use of a bypass filtration system or any other aftermarket product on a John Deere engine causes engine failures or problems. The John Deere engine warranty solely applies to defects in John Deere material and/or factory workmanship. Therefore, if such a defect is observed, John Deere has the responsibility to repair or replace these parts and components as specifi ed in the applicable warranty statement."

FORD MOTOR

"Per the Ford Owner Relations Division: “Ford Motor Company only recommends the use of genuine Ford certified filters and maintenance items on Ford products. When auxiliary devices, accessories, and/or consumables (filters, oil and fuel additives, synthetic oil, catalyst, etc., ) made by other manufacturers are used on Ford products, the Ford warranty is not affected simply because of their use.

The Ford warranty continues to cover defects use by our material and workmanship. Failures results from the installation or usage of other manufacturers’ products are not Ford factory defects, and, therefore, are not covered by Ford warranty.

Ford Motor Company is not in a position to evaluate the many auxiliary devices, accessories, and consumables promoted by other manufacturers and their potential impact on Ford products. Installation or use of such items is, therefore, at the discretion of the equipment owner who assumes all risks for the effects resulting from their usage.

This position should be made clear to customers/owners of Ford equipment whenever a proposal or inquiry concerning the use of non-Ford auxiliary/devices, accessories, or consumables is received from them.”

CHRYSLER MOTOR CORPORATION

"Certain changes that you might make to your truck do not, by themselves, void the warranties described in this booklet. Examples of some of these changes are: installing non-Chrysler parts, components, or equipment. 1997 Warranty Information supplement to Dodge."

GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION

"If a Chevrolet part fails due to a defect in material or workmanship not related to (on aftermarket products) or the labor to install it. Chevrolet would be responsible for covering the failed part. Chevrolet Customer Assistance Center."

DAIMLERCHRYSLER CORPORATION

"DaimlerChrysler’s position concerning the installation of non-DaimlerChrysler parts remains unchanged. The following quote is from our 2000 Car and Truck Warranty Information Book: “Certain changes that you might make to your vehicle do not, by themselves, void the warranties....Nor do they (the warranties) cover the costs of any repairs or adjustments that might be caused or needed because of the installation or use of non-DaimlerChrysler Motors Corporation parts, components, equipment, materials, or additives.”

NAVISTAR INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION

"Navistar, Inc. neither approves nor disapproves any product(s) not manufactured or sold by Navistar, Inc. The use of your products on our vehicles do not in and of themselves void the warranty, but any damage which may result from their use might not be covered under warranty as a warrantable failure."

"The position on using aftermarket products on Navistar’s engines is as follows: “Navistar only recommends the use of genuine Navistar filters and maintenance items on Navistar products. When auxiliary devices, accessories, and/or consumables (filters, oil and fuel additives, synthetic oil, catalyst, etc..) made by other manufacturers are used on Navistar products, the Navistar warranty is not affected simply because of their use.

The Navistar warranty continues to cover defects used by our material and workmanship. Failures resulting from the installation or usage of other manufacturers’ products are not Navistar factory defects, and, therefore, are not covered by Navistar warranty.

Navistar is not in a position to evaluate the many auxiliary devices, accessories, and consumables promoted by other manufacturers and their potential impact on Navistar products. Installation or use of such items is, therefore, at the discretion of the equipment owner who assumes all risks for the effects resulting from their usage. This position should be made clear to consumers/owners of Navistar equipment whenever a proposal or inquiry concerning the use of non-Navistar manufactured auxiliary devices, accessories, or consumables is received from them. In addition to the above, we must also inform you that Navistar does not authorize the use of its trade name or trademark in a manner which implies our endorsement of these aftermarket products.”
