You should keep any receipts for maintenance service and pass them on to the next owner of your
vehicle, in case questions arise concerning maintenance. FCA Canada Inc. has the right to deny
warranty coverage if your vehicle has not been properly maintained, or if repairs are needed because
parts other than FCA parts were used;
however, denial will not be based on the lack of maintenance
records
Well, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to use common sense that from what is written in the warranty manual and owner's manual pretty much lays out that if you need a warranty repair on something that proper maintenance can affect, you had better have proof to prove the maintenance was done. Now, the fact that you never thought of it is not the manufacturer's problem. It is yours. But then again, it is 2018 and most people need to be spoonfed everything. No one can use deductive reasoning and common sense anymore. That is too much to ask, and no one wants to take responsibility for anything anymore. YMMV.
BTW, most manuals recommend taking your vehicle to the dealer for scheduled maintenance, no? Ergo, the records are being kept automatically. Think about it. I am not advocating the dealer do all the maintenance, but if you don't wish to keep your own records, weeeelllll............................thereyago.
If warranty cannot be denied due to lack of records, then how can they determine if it has been done at all? Seems silly to have that statement.
