They likely won't but it won't hurt to ask. Once the bearings have been removed, if they are worn, you might stand a chance of having the warranty company cover the parts and labor to install the new bearings.
My shop and I just discussed what the plan will be. I'm going to get the car there next week to start a repair order for a "low end knock" that comes and goes. An oil analysis was ordered by the shop to further diagnose the problem and it was found to show high levels of lead. We are thinking the warrantee company will honor a tear down to check and replace the bearings.
