I don't know if this is a standard 5-star thing, or if it varies from
dealer to dealer, but my local dealer warranties all of their work for
1 year/12,000 miles. I found out about this when I was looking into the
possibility of having them install 4.10s in my Dak after my factory
warranty ran out. I asked what sort of warranty, if any, would apply to
that, and they said they warranty all of their work for 1/12,000.
If its the same for your dealer, since its been less than a
year, you might be in luck. :-) Even if not, the proper amount of
complaining might be good for a reduced cost or a free part at least,
if it really is the heater core which failed.
