I can fully understand if used outside of the specified parameters, therefore the user breaking their contractural obligation, then VW etc have every right to void their warranty.Online forums state that, in the event of engine damage caused by the lack of upgrade, the warranty will be invalidated.
If the vehicle is homologation with a GTW [Gross train weight] value, then how can they legally void their warranty in that it was used for towing within that figure, that's what train weight involves.
Just ensure the actual train weight is within the particular value offered for that vehicle's build spec.
