Look, what the dealer is saying is not completely out in left field guys. I've seen composite rear springs fail due to heat from the exhaust system (it's pretty common now for older Corvettes to wrap the exhaust near a composite spring to reduce heat radiation). So for those of you asking "How can an HFC damage a clutch?", there's an example of an exhaust system damaging the suspension.

If the heat from the HFC is causing (or might be causing) the clutch lines to heat up too high - well, there's your answer as to why the warranty is being voided by Nissan.

When modding your new car, "caveat emptor" (in more ways than one)...
