No, it shouldn't. At least not entirely. Anything that it directly affects will have the warranty denied on.

If you put an aftermarket cai intake in, and the intake snaps in half.. its not warrantied. Simple.

I think the short and simple of it is this:
If the aftermarket part installed on your vehicle can be determined to be the cause of the failure you are reporting, your warranty claim will be denied.

Dealerships are always looking for a reason not to work. Save the question and just switch out your intake and go back to stock tune. Let vehicle cycle enough times, just in case. Leave a note or tell advisor not to update or flash your pcm. I would also read my strategy code before and after the dealership.

Default RE: warranty

The truth lies somewhere between these two statements:

If the aftermarket part installed on your vehicle can be determined to be the cause of the failure you are reporting, your warranty claim will be denied.

Dealerships are always looking for a reason not to work

Here's the closest thing to the truth: If the aftermarket part installed on your vehicle can be determined to be the cause of the failure you are reporting, your warranty claim will be denied and dealerships are always looking for a reason not to work.

Hope putting words in the original poster's mouthes is an ok thing to do.

Here's what the law in the united states says (paraphrased): A "full" warranty such as those mandated on cars cannot be denied if the original product has undergone a modification. Unless it is PROVEN and not just verbalized that the modification caused the faliure in the first place, or that modification makes repairing the product unusually more expensive.
