What voids a Subaru WRX warranty?

I just bought a Subaru WRX and want to try it out on the drag strip, but I’m a little concerned about what that means for my warranty. What voids a Subaru WRX warranty?

With a performance-oriented car that’s as much fun to drive as the Subaru WRX, it’s no wonder you want to see what it can do on the track!
Here’s what voids a Subaru WRX warranty:
  • Tampering with or removing the car’s odometer
  • Having the car declared a total loss after a wreck
  • Sustaining damage in a natural disaster like a flood or earthquake
So, drag racing itself won’t void your warranty, but keep in mind that because Subaru’s factory coverage only pays for manufacturer defects, you’ll be on the hook for any car repairs if you damage the car in a race.
As you can see, it’s pretty difficult to void your warranty entirely, but you should also be aware of some things that simply aren’t covered under Subaru’s manufacturer warranty:
  • Anything that can be considered normal wear and tear
  • Engine tune-ups, tire alignments, oil changes, and other
    basic maintenance
  • Body damage or mechanical failure that’s the result of a car accident, neglect, or anything other than a factory error
  • Aftermarket parts or modifications that you add to the car after the initial purchase
A good warranty is a great way to protect yourself from having to pay for major repair bills in the event of a factory defect. If you want to further protect your vehicle, you can find high-quality
