The dealership won't confirm or commit to anything without seeing them first - 31k is too early for the shoes to wear out assuming you don't drive with the parking brake on - could be they're just contaminated. Friction material is generally not covered after the first 20k (so-called secret warranty fix on Focus) but if the piston is seized or something broken or missing, it should be covered.
[on soap box] And when you take it into the shop to check the brakes, ask them what happened to your standard rear seat heat ducts --- the ones that aren't there. [off soap box]
Let us know what the diagnosis is.
