It's a bunch of crap that they won't warranty that part. It's a bad design to have it there, but it must remain outside of the vehicle.
I had mine cleaned out at the dealership several times, and then they said they will no longer warranty this issue, because it's my fault that mud gets in there! I said...You mean it's my fault that I use the vehicle for what it's made for!??
I spoke with a few of the mechanics, and they recommended building some kinda shield for it, but after lots of staring, and head scratching, I couldn't come up with a simple design. The easiest way, I think, would to place some kind of disposable storage container around it while you're wheeling, then take it off when you're done!!!

Good luck!
