Dropped off the truck at dealer with Catch Can installed

[Gom]

Going in for the cruise control recall, rotate tires, blah.
Anyway, planned on taking the catch can off before dropping it off but it was in the 20s this weekend and just didn't feel like fecking with it.
So can they just void the warranty if they see it?

No ... They have to prove the mod directly caused the failure ... Google the Magnussen Warranty Act

I should be clear there is no issue with the truck, just some routing maint and recall on cruise control.
Just wondering if they see it, can they just tell me it voided the warranty.

No in fact the service guy at my dealer has one on his truck. I asked last time i was there. He tells me they are a pretty friendly dealer when it comes to mods as long as they don’t pop the hood and see nitrous and turbos and stuff. He said if bolt ons are installed properly they don’t fuss over it.

No problem with catch can . I had major engine warranty repairs done to my 2013 with catch can. At one time idiot mechanic told service advisor that I had some sort of aftermarket performance upgrade installed, service advisor asked me about it and I said it's just a catch can.. He was fine with that.

Just to piggyback off of BOWERSFJ the manual states the following below.. BUT its always best to work with your dealer regarding coverage.

Per the Warranty manual:

3. What’s Not Covered 3.1 Modifications Not Covered A. Some Modifications Don’t Void The Warranties But Aren’t Covered Certain changes that you might make to your vehicle do not, by themselves, void the warranties described in this booklet. Examples of some of these changes are: • Installing non-FCA US parts, components, or equipment (such as a non-FCA US radio or speed control); and • Using special non-FCA US materials or additives. But your warranties don’t cover any part that was not on your vehicle when it left the manufacturing plant or is not certified for use on your vehicle. Nor do they cover the costs of any repairs or adjustments that might be caused or needed because of the installation or use of non-FCA US parts, components, equipment, materials, or additives. Performance or racing parts are considered to be non-FCA US parts. Repairs or adjustments caused by their use are not covered under your warranties.
Examples of the types of alterations not covered are: • Installing accessories — except for genuine FCA US/MOPAR accessories installed by an authorized Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep or Ram dealer; • Applying rustproofing or other protection products; • Changing the vehicle’s configuration or dimensions, such as converting the vehicle into a limousine or food service vehicle; or • Using any refrigerant that FCA US has not approved. B. Modifications That WILL Void Your Warranties These actions will void your warranties: • Disconnecting, tampering with, or altering the odometer will void your warranties, unless your repairing technician follows the legal requirements for repairing or replacing odometers; or • Attaching any device that disconnects the odometer will also void your warranties.
