Technically, that is illegal in the US but the bottom line is you have to have meticulous records and be willing to fight them if they deny you. The FTC guidelines on it
are here and are pretty clear.
With maintenance intervals being longer on modern cars, and warranties being typically under 5 years, it isn't really a problem. In fact I've had warranty work done on cars I bought used and had zero records for. Most reputable dealers aren't going to fight warranty work since it is money for them. I suppose something where they feel the work is more hours than they can justify might be different.
