That depends on where you live. In the US, the Magnusson Moss Warranty Act specifically states that the aftermarket part must be the
reason of the failure as grounds for the manufacturer to deny your warranty claim.
That would be like a dealer claiming that your new aftermarket head unit caused your brakes to fail and denying your claim for that reason. Without proving this as fact, the dealer would have no legal grounds for denying your claim.....and in this example, if they tried, social media would have a field day with it, and shame them into submission.
Also, the MMWA states that you may disassemble to make repairs to your own property, without voiding the warranty. Many manufacturers that put those little stickers on their product that state "Warranty Void If Removed" don't realize it, but that is not in line with the MMWA. Some manufacturers have even been fined for doing so.
