Pre-Authorization Before Removing the Unit
Call warranty before R&R on a failed engine or transmission. Removal without approval is a frequent denial path.
Quick Answer
**Do not remove** a failed engine or transmission until a warranty technician authorizes the claim. Document symptoms first; removal without approval often voids coverage.
What to do before R&R
1. Photograph odometer, fluid, and any visible damage. 2. Record stored codes and driving symptoms. 3. Call warranty with order number and shop contact. 4. Wait for case number before authorizing removal.
FAQ
Can the shop pull the unit to diagnose?
Call first — many policies require approval before R&R.
What if the unit is already out?
File the claim immediately and note timing; approval is not guaranteed.
