Does unlocking bootloader kill the warranty?

I've read comments on some other sites that suggested that unlocking the bootloader would invalidate the warranty. The disclaimer that Huawei provides on the bootloader warns that it might cause problems, but doesn't say that it kills the warranty. Does anybody know for sure what the policy is?

So, to answer my own question, I was trying to use the Huawei website to get a bootloader unlock code and I couldn't get it to work. I sent an email to Hauwei support to ask them to send me the bootloader unlock code. I got a message back from them right away that said that Hauwei US doesn't provide unlock codes. They also threatened to invalidate my warranty if I unlocked the bootloader.
So, now I'm confused. Obviously, Hauwei does provide unlock codes, because they have a utility on their website to get one. Is it possible that unlock codes are only supposed to be provided for non-US tablets? Also, if you get an unlock code on their website, do they track that and use that to immediately invalidate the warranty? They sent me a link to a site where you can check your warranty status. http://consumer.huawei.com/us/support/warranty-query/
Is there anybody with a US-purchased tablet that's unlocked who could check their warranty status on this site?
