Carrier bearing failed

I’ve been having vibration issues in my car for the past several months which I attributed to a poor wheel balance. Turns out my carrier bearing and U joint are bad. The drive shaft has about 1/16 - 1/8” play in it. Has this happened to anyone before? Seems odd to me considering the car only has 90,000km on it.
I’ve made an appointment at the stealership to have it covered under warranty. Anything else I should be looking out for while I’m at it?

It can happen. I see more front driveshafts fail than rears, but any bearing can go bad.
