Just wondering if its safe to take my car to dealer for routine service (like an oil change etc) with an APR Stage 1 ECU Flash?
Reason I ask is because I have another car with an ECU update that had to go to the dealer for an airbag recall. In the process of doing the recall they scanned my ECU and voided my powertrain warranty. By the way it was not the dealer who did this, they were as shocked as I was. They said ECU readings automatically get downloaded to the manufacturer when you have service done and that is how they knew and the manufacturer decided to cancel my powertrain warranty.
