I know this has been brought up before as a thread starter, but I called the dealership to verify whether or not this upgrade would void the factory warranty but someone hasn't called me back yet from there. I left the service advisor my name and phone number and reason why I was calling...so idk. Without a actual yes or no answer from Chevrolet, do you guys think this will void the warranty? IMPO..i believe it would since its aftermarket and not oem, but the LTZ models have 4 wheel disc brakes so then again, there isn't really any difference. Fill me in peeps=]

Yes - apparently some 2011-2012 1.4T Automatic Cruzen and now about 136,000 BMWs. BMW just announce a recall for loss of power assist braking at low speed. I don't know if the BMW problem is related or not other than being in the same situations - low speed with "smaller" motors.

Turbos.

No vacuum pressure @ high idle due to boost.

Yeah, both the Supra and Cruze have vacuum pumps, two more things to worry about. What? Me worry?

Hi chevycruze2012

The warranty is void if it is proven that the modification or aftermarket part caused the issue/part failure. If anything were to happen as a direct result of the mod it would not be covered. I hope I answered your question. Private message me if you have any other questions.

I always knew that putting wheels on my Cruze would look real tacky, and me being such a detail freak all i would be able to see is the drum brake.
