no this is not even linked to the mods....so they can not refuse service based on mods as it is not a torque related issue it is a design flaw. I went in with my VMP tune...my pulley...mo suspension mods and exhaust mods....in fact they screwed up my exhaust at first (Did not allign and tighten correctly after they took apart and reinstalled) and of course they are liable for that too as it did not make any noise (rattle) before the TSB work.
remember a dealer has to prove that any mod is the cause of the issue..this being a TSB and an obvious design flaw they can not refuse...

on a related note as well my dealer is a great dealership that understands we mod our cars...and dont mess around...especially these cars...plus also note several and I mean several people have had this TSB completed with allot more mods that you or I have...get it done.....it is a design flaw and they can not deny that it will happen to your car at one point if not already...I was lucky as my car is daily driver so it was easy to find....I feel bad for the few people who have there cars with less than 2000 miles after a couple years and only drive their cars once in a blue moon...they dont see the signs...
