I doubt they'll be able to. They did provide me assurance that if the starter or something related goes out in the near future (whatever that means, warranty expired yesterday, won't put this in writing), they will handle it since the problem's been documented multiple times. I've found nothing concrete about it in searching the forums.
I made a thread about this awhile ago. Since that thread, it's only made the noise once more.
