This would be a violation of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty act of 1975 which requires they show the work done directly caused the failure.

If this were a widespread policy I bet class action lawyers would be all over it without you having to pay for it.

Maybe they researched customers’ backgrounds and only screwed the ones they thought wouldn’t lawyer up

  • This doesn't require research. Just reject by default and concede if a lawyer shows up. It doesn't cost any money to have a default denial policy and saves millions.

  • They broadly decline it for BS reasons betting that most people don't know it's illegal and/or won't try to force them to follow the law.
