The act SPECIFICALLY places the legal burden of proof on a dealership to prove the aftermarket part contributed to the failure that was denied. This isn’t me speculating, it’s the black and white of the act we are discussing. I understand no body wants to end up in this perdiciment of playing the warranty blame game with a dealership.....but that concern is the EXACT reason the suit was brought forward and the precedent was set: so that dealers can’t deny repairs without proof.

Well then call me nobody, because I have read the MM act. It's kinda boring btw.
With that said, if you brought a car with an aftermarket intake system into the dealer with engine repair issues, it would be pretty easy for them to say the engine management software calibration was now not as accurate which caused the engine to run outside of parameters designed by the manufacturer. I would imagine they would also bring up the fact that their own intake system includes an engine management calibration.
If you decided to calibrate it yourself with aftermarket software then the car may no longer be compliant with EPA and Smog laws, so that is also an easy out for them. Just ask Harley Davidson.
So, while I'm sure you could find someway to try to fight this, what I said above still is true.
