Is the bolt still attached or did it just fall out? With 4000 miles, it could have vibrated out...shouldn't but it could.

I'm going with the "not installed correctly at the factory" theory. It shouldn't pop out like that. Take it back to the dealer if for no other reason than to make them aware of it.

Let us know what the problem turns out to be, but as a side note make sure to check over your bike frequently. Things happen and mechanics aren't perfect. You hot lucky here, but there are a number of things that could go wrong on a bike over time and if it happens at 80 mph, you're screwed fast.
