I mean this whole thing could likely be solved if the dealers just removed the pan and replaced the sealant when they get the car.


Anyone know if installing a baffle plate would void the warranty? MM seems to say the dealer would need to prove that the plate contributed to the failure in order to void the claim.

Wouldn't "void" the warranty but could result in denial of coverage for any oil related issue.
They just need to prove it contributed to the issue not directly caused it. As posted before the warranty language is clear that aftermarket or modded parts can result in denial of claim. You could of course argue it didn't but they just need to have one of their engineers state it COULD have contributed. They know the laws and trying to get around them with word play will not work. Doesn't matter what we, YouTubers, bloggers, random dudes in general think makes sense they simply have the resources to fight if they choose.
