By law and by the bolded part, there needs to be proof the modified parts caused the failure in order to deny any type of warranty.

Now, I understand for some stupid reason, most dealers love denying warranty work based on absurd things like, "your engine spun a bearing, it's because of your aftermarket led taillamps", but still by the letter of the law, the dealer is required to prove the mod was a direct cause of the failure.

Taking a moded car to a dealer should not (and does not by law) mean automatic warranty denial.
