Maryland
It is illegal for manufacturers or dealers to void a warranty or deny coverage simply because aftermarket or recycled parts had been installed or someone other than the dealer had serviced the vehicle.

Legislation was introduced in the Maryland Senate to require new-car dealers to provide purchasers a written statement declaring it illegal for manufacturers or dealers to void a warranty or deny coverage simply because aftermarket or recycled parts had been installed or someone other than the dealer had serviced the vehicle. The bill is currently in the Senate Committee on Finance. A companion bill remains in the House Economic Matters Committee.
