Your dealer must have been a good one. Most of the dealer stories you hear about are terrible and will look for any excuse possible to get out of doing warranty work.Mods under warranty are fine unless you go extreme and do like forced induction. I had a stage 3 Focus ST from almost the day I bought it new and I got it serviced under warranty many times all the way up to the 60,000 mile limit. It is up to the dealer by law to show prove the mods caused a failure or they have to fix it.
And yes Ford would have to show proof, but do you really want to go to court with fords lawyers? Be cheaper and faster to just fix the car yourself.
All of this is a moot point for me since I went the "extreme" route and stuck a blower on the car after 3months of ownership when the car only had 3200 miles. But any aftermarket part pertaining to the drivetrain can technically be the "cause" of a failure.
