With the bike upright, pull the derby cover and see if there is any movement when you pull the lever. Sonds like a broken cable, or maybe the throwout bearing has fallen apart.

Warranty, I presume. Dealer will make it good, and it'll be free. Good to get free stuff from a dealer 'cause they're gonna get you down the road!
