Interesting
But why is the word "warranty " included in this? Is it a code for tracking purposes for repairs of those that installed the upgrade?
Curious and VERY interested if it doesn't effect the warranty.

As part of ticket, warranty code is added.
Owner has problem, warranty code is present, and so warranty exists.
Alternately...
Owner buys "factory authorized" kit and has it installed by "unauthorized."
Warranty code doesn't get added to file.
Owner has problem, warranty code is missing, and so owner is SOL.
