Hello Anthony,
So this is a gray area and I wish I had a definitive answer for you, it should be no it doesn't void your warranty. Technically adding aftermarket accessories to your vehicle does not void the warranty, but a lot of dealership will automatically tell you it's voided and there's nothing you can do because they don't want to submit a claim. There are laws in place to protect consumers in modifying their vehicles. It is supposed to be if the installed accessories caused the failure then it would not be covered under warranty. I have heard from customers that bought new 2021 models, that HD dealers are telling them if they plug anything into the ECU it will void the warranty. I don't know if this is true or how they would be able to determine that caused the failure. I know this is confusing but I hope it sheds some light on situation and answers your question.
