p0449 fix not covered under warranty?

[Lockett]

So my '13 RS threw this code a few weeks ago. I took it to a dealer close to my office (not the dealer i bought it from) thinking "okay, it's still under warranty, might as well take care of it now." Well, I was wrong. The dealer diagnosed the issue but wanted to charge $200 to fix. I have attached a pic of the service order to show you exactly what they found. My question is this: shouldn't emissions equipment be covered beyond the 3/36 bumper to bumper warranty? I have no problems fixing this myself but I was just surprised that this isn't something covered. Have any of you guys and gals experienced this code? Also, can you access the fuel tank harness without having to drop the tank? Thanks in advance for any input.

As far as I know emissions are,or should be covered until 80k miles.

The problem is the wiring harness and not the actual part. Hence no warranty.

That makes sense. Now to question two: is it possible to get to the fuel tank harness without having to drop the tank?
