Re: Mercedes AMG authorized warranty use

Your suggested modifications cannot invalidate the warranty unless it is shown that they are directly responsible for the failure; so, the grill may be a point of contention. If any of the cruise sensors and cameras malfunction, which may be affixed to the grille and were relocated to the new unit, ...

Re: 2010 Mercedes E350
