If they can then show conclusively that the programmer caused whatever failure occurred, they can legally deny the warranty claim, not void the warranty.

Most dealership service personnel, and upper management will probably say screw you and you'll have to fight for some time, but in the end you may win.

you are not correct about the law. the law describes broad parameters for warrantee claims but does not address, nor could it legally address the specific published limitations ( and agreed to at time of purchase )to any warrantee as long as they don't violate ICC code.

ford says " these actions void your warrantee" you do them and they discover it one way or another and the law is no longer on your side.

and the other posters are correct. if you want to screw with your hardware at least be man enough and have enough integrity to not have to try to swindle someone when you or your aftermarket supplier screw up.
