You would have to be so far out of your warranty such that the bearing failure could be attributed to normal wear and tear. At 100k miles, you're more likely to have bearing wear and thus a small chance of ruining your engine (however I still wouldn't accept 100k as a lifespan of an engine) . With a young engine it's reasonable to expect that your engine won't grenade for any reason other than abuse.
