Warranty Legal Info
This is what I was able to find quickly.
Code of Federal Regulations, Title 16 – Commercial Practices, Chapter I – Federal Trade Commission, Subchapter G – Rules, Regulations, Statements and Interpretations under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, Part 700 – Interpretations under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. Contained within these rules and regulations is Section 700.10, which states:
No warrantor may condition the continued validity of a warranty on the use of only authorized repair service and/or authorized replacement parts for non-warranty service and maintenance.
Also, I am going to bring this to SEMA as they fight against this and for us. I may ask for your conversations if they will pursue this further.

It is up to us, take action.

OP No!!! What you need to know is that the judge in the consent decree between EPA and H-D in very specific language states that H-D does NOT have to show the warranty claim was due to an aftermarket device.
In other words the Federal Judge "Voided" Magnuson-Moss for 2017 to 2020 models of H-D. Some would say that is legislating from the bench but Judges get away with it every time. It is the wording EPA wanted to indirectly affect aftermarket companies selling tuners.

It will be interesting to see if there is a drop in ESP sales on 18+ models over the next few years. Of course correlation doesn't necessarily equal causation; but it would be mighty coincidental.
I want to believe HD corporate and their attorney's have a strategic plan here beyond acquiescence to CARB and EPA.
