There are a whole host of electrical and computer components a car cannot start/run without that aren't considered "powertrain" by most warranties.
In a case such as the CEL on the FRS and BRZ then I doubt you'd have to argue it b/c of the problems already showing up.....but down the line, let's say this is a tolerance issue that may not develop on some cars until past the 36K mile point, it may be a big hassle and expensive repair bill. I'm not saying that's definitely the case....just that it could be.
