unless it has got a 5 year warranty then i would say you dont have a leg to stand on.

pop down the local motor factors and get a replacement. is it the gearbox side or the wheel side that has come out?

Print that out, take it down to your local dealer and ask them to fix it. If they don't then contact trading standards. They should fix it if it's a known defect, it does not sound like an expensive fix so can't see them fighting too hard.
Best of luck.
