Oh, I'm not saying it couldn't happen. Manufacturer defects are always possible. I just think that given track usage and the vagueness of the warranty wording, the dealer has a reasonable leg to stand on for them to deny coverage.

It doesn't matter if it's racing. The warranty provided racing as an example of misuse, not a hard rule of what they defined as misuse. I haven't seen a definitive list of what Subaru or Toyota considers vehicle misuse. They could say that HDPE is misuse because it's still pushing your car hard around a track, even though it isn't for points or time. And just because insurance might cover it doesn't mean the warranty will.
