just in the last week i've been noticing a sound coming from my focus that sounds almost like the CVs are wearing out? but my focus has only done 21500km!!!!!!!! so surely it couldn't be the CVs cos i have never EVER done a burnout. could it just be the wheel balance weights? but there is no vibration from the steering!!!!!!

The bearings in my cv's went at 5,000km's. Made a clunk clunk clunk noise when accelerating. I drive conservatively.

No harm done if it's under warranty. Except the loss of your car for a day...

The warranty covers everything minus the battery (after 12 months). CV's are covered under warranty.
Unless they can prove the car has been misused, they have to fix it.

Probably a split cv seal. Nothing out of the ordinary but it does need to be fixed.
