Try diff dealerships untill you find one thats covered.
Is this your motor? car?
They can check the mem as well and if you say it wasnt over 7,200 you make them show you when and where it shows that it went over factory redline.

Just to address the potential to over rev: you can mechanically over rev an engine by shifting from 3rd gear at redline to, let's say, second gear.

if he downshifted they will know. Shouldn't have been the case if max rpm was 7,200.
Did you ever hit 2nd instead of 4th in it? 6 speed its been known to happen.
