From my reading of the document I have it says the 162k miles/11 years is from the in service date. So that "Regardless of your mileage or vehicle age at the time of the repair, that is the minimum warranty for your vehicle." seems somewhat badly worded. If you bought in 2014 it isn't the same as if you bought a stop sale vehicle in 2017. The 2014 vehicle has already used up some years and miles that the new 2017 hasn't.
I'm not 100% sure how the 2014's are being treated and also not sure if that is what we're referring to in this thread BUT here is the text in the literature we all (MY15) folks got with our cars.
Italicized and underlined section is of most importance to our discussion here.
