Default Is differential fluid change covered under warranty?

My dealer here in Germany honors US warranty/maintenance plan, but when I went in there at 1500miles to do dif fluid change I came out with $250 bill... I read in the manual that after the car been driven hard the first time, the dif fluid needs to be changed. I drive on the autobahn, with high speed cornering, so I consider that hard driving and warranties a dif fluid change. Are dealers doing the dif fluid change free of charge back in the US? If so, I want to fight this charge with my dealer.

Usually not unless the fluid change is required due to a warranty covered repair like a diff replacement or repair.

Routine maintenance is almost never covered under warranty. Warranties are to fix things that go wrong.

GM does not pay for normal or routine maintenance except for the first 5 oil changes within two years.
