Your EV warranty is a valuable safety net, but certain actions can void it entirely. Being aware of these common mistakes helps protect your coverage.
Unauthorized Modifications
Modifying your EV software, installing aftermarket performance chips, or altering the charging system can void related warranty claims. Always check with your dealer before making any modifications to your vehicle.
Skipping Scheduled Maintenance
Even though EVs need less maintenance, skipping manufacturer-recommended service intervals can give the warranty provider grounds to deny claims. Keep all service records as proof of proper maintenance.
Using Non-Approved Chargers
Regularly using damaged or non-certified charging equipment can harm your battery and void warranty coverage. Stick to manufacturer-approved charging solutions and reputable public charging networks.
Ignoring Recall Notices
Failing to have recall work performed can void warranty coverage related to the recalled component. Always respond promptly to manufacturer recall notifications.
Flood and Water Damage
Driving through deep water beyond the vehicle rated depth can cause damage that is not covered under warranty. During UAE flash floods, avoid submerged roads even if your vehicle appears capable of crossing.
