[QUOTE="lawdog, post: 1388590, member: 23064"] Yes, Mangnuson-Moss Warranty Act is federal law, and does require proof that aftermarket part caused failure/voiding of warranty coverage. The burden initially is on the dealer to prove that the aftermarket part caused the damage to the part(s) they are denying warranty coverage for. But, as pointed out, it can be an expensive uphill battle for the consumer, as misuse in general can be grounds to deny warranty service. The Act also only applies to the part's manufacturing defect(s). If you, say, mod your ECU, and you then have engine failure or driveline issues, it's pretty easy for the dealer/manufacturer to deny coverage due to use in excess of the specified/stock parameters. Caveat emptor. Here's a something SEMA got the FTC to put out in 2010: [URL]http://www.semasan.com/semaga/images/warranty_ftc.pdf[/URL] [/QUOTE]
