Not true. They make the determination to void the warranty and the burden of suing the manufacturer for monetary damages caused by work or repairs performed that should have been covered is placed squarely on you. And I promise that their warranty clearly states unauthorized repairs and modifications are grounds for the void.
They can claim what they want. But that isn't what the law actually says. You can't change a tire and claim it broke the electric window. According to you, they can and are legally protected when doing so. That's not how it works, by law.
They wouldn't go that far, but yes, they could, and you'd have to sue for remedy if they did. However, they would absolutely void your warranty if you put, say, a programmer chip on your engine and something happened with that engine. They don't have to prove your chip played a role.
You're right, they can claim that. But it's not legal. That's the point. Same with my original statement.
Read the thread. Pretty sure someone named the law.
