Subaru is requiring that dealers must identify and document any changes they detect because it could impact warranty coverage. If a dealer does make non-standard modifications they must indemnify Subaru.
I think I'm going to have a discussion with my Subaru dealer and get a copy of their warranty support and manufacturer indemnification letter when they replaced my tires with non OEM tires. I replaced the OEM tires with the same size tires, but they aren't OEM and they could impact vehicle performance and I need to know that my dealer will stand behind the change.
With all the technology on cars it's looking like the car industry is going down the Apple/John Deer business model. You don't really "own" the car, you just pay to use it, and maintain it, but you don't own it.
