> Having your vehicle serviced by someone other than the dealer could void your warranty and poses a safety risk

Good tongue in cheek post, but in the US Magnuson-Moss prohibits warranty claim denials merely on the basis of non-OEM parts and service. It also puts the burden on the manufacturer to demonstrate the defect or failure was the direct result of the non-OEM part. Other jurisdictions have similar laws on the books.

Right to repair already exists in certain aspects and needs to be expanded (and enforced. Tons of those ‘will void warranty’ stickers are lies and you have legal rights to poke around)

OP was making the same comparison. Voiding a warranty by merely rooting something is illegal under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.

The problem is getting the companies to change their act, and they probably won't without a class action lawsuit, and I have no idea if there's enough financial incentive there for a law firm to tackle it.
