You're missing the point - you already said it yourself -
If the manual tells you to inspect it, then its a potential service/failure item. Cooling hoses. Power steering hoses. Balljoints. Exhaust. Ad Nauseum.
No service manual is going to tell you to inspect the door hinges or cupholders. Why? They arent going to break.
Depending on the manufacturer, the warranty outside of the standard 3/36 can get pretty limited and depenent on regular maintenance.
