I don't know exactly what is meant by a warranty being *PULLED*, but neither 
the dealer or NA can arbitrarily PULL a warranty unless it can be shown the 
modification was involved with whatever the problem is for which warranty 
work is being requested.  That isn't legal.  And even if a chip were to 
cause a problem, it wouldn't affect the warranty on other parts of the car 
(i.e. transmission, rear window defroster....)

If I can find the publication I found this info in I'll post it.

Comments, lawyer-types?
