Brake rotors warped - anyone else?

Dealer says front brake rotors are warped (which I believe based on vibration/noise when braking) at 16K miles but calls it a "comfort" issue rather than under-engineered brakes, and wants me to pay to have the rotors resurfaced. Is this reasonable, or a rip-off?

I experienced warped rotors on a car 5 years ago at only about 4K miles, and the dealer gladly fixed the problem for free, as it was a problem common to that vehicle.
On a few other cars, I've experienced warped rotors after 30K miles and gladly paid for resurfacing as just normal wear & tear.
Just seems like I shouldn't be shelling out cash to repair a 10-month old car.
