THe big caveat to this is that it depends on the dealership.
The universal truth is that they COULD flag it.
Doesn't mean they WILL flag it.
For example, my Dinan tuned (flash) 135 went in with a transmission issue.
They replaced my manual transmission under CPO warranty, no questions asked, and they knew I had tuned the car because they were the ones who installed it.
In theory they could have put it on the tune and tried to make Dinan cover it, saying that the extra power is what was damaging the tranny, and I could have been stuck in a back-and-forth, but no - dealership just fixed it and didn't cost me a dime.
