Warranty?

On my 2010 RTS, I noticed a rhythmic "thumping" sound (similar to a tire with ply separation) coming from the rear of the bike. Dropped it at my dealer. I talked to my mechanic this morning, who had taken thr rear wheel and components apart. The only thing he could find wrong, was the pressed bearing in the hub which should have been tight, was able to be driven out with a hammer and screwdriver. From my understanding, the bearing had not spun, but could be moved side to side.
I just wondered if anyone else out here had experienced this problem with 17000 miles on their bike.:dontknow:
I hope the new hub doesn't take that long to get to the dealer.
