Brake resurface?

Do you think a Toyota dealer would replace or resurface mildly warped disk brakes? I think somebody must have stomped on the brakes in the first ten miles prior to my taking delivery (I've carefully broken the car in since), 'cause my rotors feel like they're warped.

The problem is so mild that you can't feel anything wrong until you press on the brakes (even slightly) - then there's a slight "shudder" you can feel through the steering wheel. I hope the dealer is willing to address the problem even though it's really subtle. Unfortunately, having owned three(!) Yaris liftbacks, I really know how they're supposed to feel.

I recall reading in the manual that heavy brake use should be avoided during break-in. Generally speaking, has anybody warped their brakes by stomping on 'em too soon?
