Can a fuel additive void my car's warranty?

Could a manufacturer withdraw their warranty if a fuel additive product is used?

Yes, if they can prove it. For that reason it's best to use a fuel with the additives already in than to dose cheap fuel with an additive. Which is why I recommend Shell V-Power Nitro Plus
