Not so black and white.
I have read numerous stories on this forum of someone with an intake mod or some other very mild mod.
When they needed the dealer to have a look at the engine the dealer TOLD THEM to return it to stock because the mods mess with their diagnostic equipment and can skew the results.
A perfect example is the intake screwing with the MAF readings.
So I Guess a dealer TELLING you to remove the mods and return it to stock before bringing it in is also fraud?
Now yes - if you blow an engine with a turbo, and take the turbo off and have it towed to the dealer - definitely fraud.
So there is a bit of gray in there.
