Unless your steering wheel is a GM specified part, or meets all specs, if there is an issue with steering wheel controls, bluetooth, paddle shift, you might be on the hook for that. Your vehicle warranty is not a single, cover all warranty. It is a combination of separate warranties. 3/36 basic warranty a.k.a. bumper to bumper covers pretty much everything like infotainment, interior/exterior suspension/handling parts, systems, assembly issues etc. Powertrain is a separate warranty covering engine and drive line, transmission, differentials. Then you have the emission warranty, covers catalytic converters, o2 sensors, and some fuel line issues. The corrosion warranty. Touch that ECM and for the most part you are done. There is a flash counter with corresponding codes that have to match. Now, that said, warranty work is typically denied when GM wants to inspect either the car, or the ECM history. They may not always request this. If it is a recall, or common TSB issue, they may approve the warranty work w/o question. But, pretty much any major repair, internal engine failure, anything of that nature, yes, they'll check it. The thought that the manufacturer must "prove" an aftermarket part must be the cause of failure comes from the Magnussen Moss Act. If you read the actual legislation, it prohibits companies from forcing customers to buy a certain brand of replacement parts. So, if you want to go with a Fram air filter, a Purolator oil filter, or Valvoline Oil, so long as they meet OEM specification, you're good. Anything that exceeds the manufacturer's parameter design or intent, and they are not obligated to cover. |
