It might be worth consulting a lawyer re this-- if so most manufacturers could deny coverage to most of their customers with slightly older cars.
Per the "Warranty and Maintenance Booklet" in every single car's glovebox (this is the Scion version 2013) shown below. Note that this is a legally binding document detailing the warranty and is easily accessible to every single owner, no need consult a lawyer.
