It's only up to the dealers discretion to a certain extent.

If a dealer ever tells you your warranty is void due to a certain part, ask for it in writing!

I was told my MAFS was void at 20,000kms because of a K&N filter. I said "sure thing, can I get that in writing please?". Instead, they just replaced it.

I've got tons of mods, and also purchased the extended warranty. Parts that alter a certain part of the car obviously void the warranty.

It also comes down to the fact whether or not you have a good relationship with the dealer.

I've been told my brake rotors were a "ware item" and I'd have to pay for them out of my pocket. Went to a different dealer in a different city - sure no problem, thats covered under warranty.

Unfortuntaely there isn't much consistency between Ford dealers when it comes down to warranty related items due to aftermarket parts. If you have a friend in the service/parts department, that could help you out big time.
