I've had a steering rack replaced in my old car under warranty even though the dealership knew damn well I raced the car with r-comps which caused the rack to fall out of tolerance. But stay on good terms and most will be happy to go to bat for you in the end.

Cuz I came from a VAG product and they are notoriously troublesome at making warranty claims with rust requiring the regional rep to inspect it and then argue / fight with the stealer (VAG comes with a 12 year rust perforation warranty and any aftermarket rust proofing voids that). Not that you really need to rust proof a German car to begin with (world's best quality steel comes from Germany and France).
Well so far my dealings with Subaru Canada hasn't inspire any confidence (my car didn't even come with a full set of user's manuals and my GPS card is outdated) so I guess I should rust proof the car myself come next year.
