Uneven braking pressure could cause the problem. If your right front is warping the problem could be your left front. If your left isn't working properly your right is overworking and, therefore, overheating. Improperly adjusted/functioning calipers can put uneven pressure on a rotor which causes it to overheat on one side causing the warping.
Several years ago I had my front brakes (rotors, pads) done at my local independent shop. The rotor(s) warped shortly thereafter. The owner accused me of doing things like bombing down freeway exit ramps then hitting a puddle and this caused the problem. Nothing could be further from reality given my driving style so I stood firm. I didn't fight about it and let him (actually his son) figure it out. Eventually they realized that there was a problem during the installation. I forget if it was the pin or the piston or something else, however.
Cheers,
