Because they pay the $millions for the recalls. If an aftermarket company ever saw a forced recall campaign like that, they'd be out of business. Poof!
But Ford does things for cost reasons first and foremost. They are a company historically run by cost conscious decisions, not sales conscious decisions. So it could be assumed that the enthusiast would realize better performance gains with an aftermarket tune & CAI than with a Ford one that is constrained by a salaried legal staff kept on retainer.
But the everyday consumer wouldn't invest the time or extra-time in figuring all this stuff out or posting on enthusiast forums. So if the system spurted out an anomaly, they'd go and gripe to Ford, who's legally responsible for providing the safe vehicle.
It's up to us to make our cars unsafe enough to be fun.

For it clearly states, under the Ford Racing Limited Warranty Statement. The following conditions.

vehicle along with any modifications that are necessary for the proper performance of the vehicle.
3. Vehicle damage caused by a consumer's failure to modify the vehicle properly for use of one or more Ford Racing parts and components is not covered by this Limited Warranty and is the sole responsibility of the consumer. This Limited Warranty and/or the New

in part, where the vehicle has been damaged due to a consumer's failure to modify the vehicle properly as necessary for use of Ford Racing parts and components.
4. Warranty Start Date - This limited warranty begins upon dealer installation and registration
of the Ford Racing Performance Pack(s) with Ford Racing and ends at either 3 years/36,000
miles (whichever occurs first) when installed on a new vehicle at the time of vehicle sale or 12
months/12,000 miles (whichever occurs first) for all installations occurring after the date of
vehicle sale but prior to the expiration of the 3 years/36,000 mile coverage (whichever occurs

I really hate to disagree, but it's not Ford who covers the warranty on the FRPP flash tool. It's Ford Racing Performance Parts.

FMC not Ford Racing provides the warranty. Warranty claims on FRPP parts are processed though FRPP. They do the paper work.

Although FRPP is part of FMC. Their never the less, considered as separate, and independant from one another.
As for debating who covers the warranty claims. We can all nit-pick, back and forth, until the cows come home. Even though FMC underwrites, and technically provides the warranty. The point is..Warranty claims on FRPP parts are processed though FRPP, and not FMC. For they do the paper work. Which IMHO translates..that only the FRPP parts themselves are covered, and not the actual vehicle itself. In which FRPP parts may be found directly responsible, for causing the failure of factory OEM parts, covered under the FMC factory warranty.

But, if things really go south -- you've got a BIG target with Ford or Ford Racing and they have a big pocketbook (at least until they go broke) to ensure that you get the problem fixed. If your dealer is friendly toward you -- that goes a long way towards making sure things go even better. I have found Ford Racing to be very responsive and customer friendly, and when I have an issue that they can't resolve, my Dealer Service Manager can work wonders -- all while never having to say you're sorry about your mods.
