Quick car warranty question

[Skel]

For those more knowledgeable than I. 2003 Acura Rsx-s I was told the heat shield for my catalyst converter is broken. There is a metal plate hanging of fmy car dragging on the ground as an oil pan would do but its not the oil pan. Is this type of repair covered under general warranty? I called the acura dealer but they wont really answer me. They want me to bring it in.

Maybe, maybe not.


Catalist would have two heat shields, one on top, one on bottom. You really need to tack the brocken piece in place, that's all. Go under your car, if the top piece not brocken, and only bottom brocken, you can rip it off, if top piece is missing, then you're in trouble.

It would be cheaper to go to an exhaust shop and pay for repair, which will only take 10 minutes. Tack it into place. If it's more serious then replace the catalic converter.


I know dealer should do it for free, perhaps. But it will take the whole day and you paying shop fees.
