Sure! 40K, why not? Depends on lots of things, beyond simply how you drive it. TOB wears while your foot is on the clutch. Or, if it wasn't lubed properly at the factory, it wears all the time, as the slave cylinder is self adjusting, and the TOB and pressure plate are always in gentle contact. That also happens to be why it's squeaking with your foot
off the clutch. Spinning without a load is enough to make the worn out bearing sing.
Either way, There's been many reported issues. The fact that you bought it used and have no idea how it was driven before is just icing on the cake.
Some other users have even had this problem
before 40K

Not automatically. If you want it replaced under warranty you either have to have a really great dealer or you need to argue for it.
It's a "wear part" that's how many dealers get out of it.
That said, many have worn out before their service interval, while the clutch is still in great condition. This would seem to indicate that it's a defective or improperly installed part. If they're not lubricated properly, like the fork pivot, they will wear out faster than they were designed to wear out. If it was installed correctly, it should only wear under load, i.e. when you depress the clutch. That, and, if it's a sh*tty part with sh*tty tolerances, it will grind itself up under load, before the service interval.
Regardless, if they refuse to service it on the grounds that it's a wear part, then you have to convince them it's defective.
