I have this exact same problem. I started noticing the rattling at about 40k miles. I am currently writing SoA to see if they can help with cost of repair in either labor or parts. The dealer quote was $1300 for the repair. 2nd opinion was more @ $1450 from another 3rd party mechanic. Please do the same if you even think you are having the same issue. Based on the low mileage reported by others when this issue is noticed, it's likely there should be a recall for this issue. This may be way more common than we think and could be going unreported or ignored until the clunking becomes very loud. Usually by this point the car is out of warranty and they stick the owner for a large bill on a common wear and tear part.
I am not happy about paying to be part of the manufacturers quality assurance testing. But, they are right that the part did fail outside the warranty period. I just wouldn't expect o have this kind of a failure after so few miles
