GM also sells parts over the counter at dealerships which will void your drivetrain warranty. Just as with Ford it is up to the buyer to decide whether the risk of installing these aftermarket parts is acceptable. That is what the dealership is doing, installing aftermarket parts. They could run the car down to the local speed shop and have them install an aftermarket blower from any OEM and it would be no different.
The warranty is strictly an aftermarket item as well. It should give a thinking man pause that Ford has the value of the entire new car sale to offset warranty costs and this warranty must be offset by the sale of the blower. So how do you greatly increase the odds of breaking the most expensive parts in the car by pushing them well in excess of of their design parameters and then offer a warranty without doing something to reduce your claims? You have to figure that warranty is full of holes and they're going to overcome the cost problem by not paying except under strictly defined circumstances that won't apply to many people.
