But a manufacturer may require documentation from the owner (receipts, etc) to prove that the consumer did in fact perform the maintenance in order for the warranty to be honored. It also prohibited manufacturers from voiding vehicle warranties based on most owner modifications of a vehicle (voiding the engine warranty because the radio was changed, for example).
I am not sure if Canada has similar legislation, but I want to say they don't?
I guess so, stupid Canada.
