I had a friends Dad that had a Honda. At about 50K miles the drain plug sheared during removal. The dealer stated it needed a new oil pan and gave him the cost. He had them pull the records and that dealer was the only place that car ever had an oil change since new. The dealer covered the pan replacement.

A wheel stud is 100% not covered by powertrain coverage (I spent 10yrs working for Subaru).
With that being said, service managers can use their own discretion when it comes to approving repairs outside of warranty and that's why it can be of great benefit to have a good relationship with your local dealer.
