Highly doubt you'd lose your warranty over the charcoal filter.

Is that in-cabin filter? Weird how it is in the bay if so.

That charcoal filter in the engine air cleaner is for better EPA ratings to meet CARB regulations. It is used to collect hydrocarbon vapor and exhaust gas. US-vehicles equipped with the additional charcoal filter do not have it elsewhere in the world (e.g. Europe, Japan).
