Question:

Hello, re: receiver hitch 2014 Subaru Forester: The description says remove the heat shield, the video shows modifying the shield. Either way, does this effect my warranty? Thanks.

Modifying the heat shield of your 2014 Subaru Forester does not affect the warranty of the vehicle. Installing the part # 75876 would not be an issue at all.

When you install an aftermarket part on your vehicle like a trailer hitch in this case, you are protected by the Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act. This act states, in part, that unless the installation and the part caused a problem then the warranty cannot be voided. I recommend looking it up online.

I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well.
