#5 of 6 CX9: After-market hitch vs. Warranty by chrisgoodall May 18, 2009 (10:38 am)
Can anyone share their interpretation of the CX9's warranty vis-a-vis the installation of an after-market hitch? I'd like to bolt on a hitch for mounting a bike rack. Thanks! ~Chris Replies to this message: ceric (May 18, 2009 1:42 pm)

Replying to: chrisgoodall (May 18, 2009 10:38 am) I have installed a class-III hitch on my 2008 CX9 for bike rack as well. What is your concern? Voiding the warranty? No way it will. The Moss-Magnus. Act dictates that warranty on an OE part is voided if and only if the automaker can prove that an aftermarket part caused the OE part to fail. In your case, hauling bikes is not gonna cause any problem. It is way below the standard 2000lb rating w/o tow package.
