A TSB doesn't always mean they'll pay for it. You might get a discount, but what it means is that it's a service bulletin to the techs about a known/common problem. Paying for it under warranty is a separate issue.

Here's something to try, as long as you think it's safe. The theory behind this is that a lot of rotor "warpage" is actually just uneven deposits, typically caused by the pad fusing to the rotor after a hard stop.
So, what do you want to do? Heat up your rotors good & hot and then let them cool.
Find a deserted road
Accel to 60 or 70mph
Brake hard to a near stop (ideally downhill == more rotor heat)
Repeat step 1 once or twice
Again, you're trying to get your rotors very hot.
Then, drive carefully for 15min or so without sitting stopped w/the brakes "on".
I was developing a bit of a warp on my GX, and recently was able to clear it up with the process noted above.
