If you have NOT received a letter from DC, your warranty is NOT void! Warranties can ONLY be void by the MANUFACTURER!, and it has to be done in writing! This is the LAW, and DC knows that! Someone is playing games with you.
Wrong, they can restrict the whole warranty if they want & no you won't get a letter! DC has done this to many of us.
Here is a Quote from the Magnuson-Moss Warranty act of 1975.
In order to disclaim implied warranties, you must inform consumers in a conspicuous manner, and generally in writing, that you will not be responsible if the product malfunctions or is defective.

The Law
Federal law sets forth requirements for warranties and contains a number of provisions to prevent vehicle manufacturers, dealers and others from unjustly denying warranty coverage. With regard to aftermarket parts, the spirit of the law is that warranty coverage cannot be denied simply because such parts are present on the vehicle, or have been used (see Attachment A). The warranty coverage can be denied only if the aftermarket part caused the malfunction or damage for which warranty coverage is sought. Disputes in this area usually boil down to arguments over facts and technical opinions, rather than arguments over interpretations of the law.
