P1 Cranks

Has anyone heard of P1 Cranks failing @ 50,000 miles.
I took my car into a main dealer for a 52,500 mile service. After 50 miles up the road heard a knocking noise and reffered the car back to the dealer and was told that the Crank was knocking. To my knowledge the car has never been on a track day but I am the second owner and purchased it with full dealer history.
Would appreciate anyones views.

Seen 7 P1's with crank failure between 18,500 & 43,000 miles. It is most unlikely the dealer caused the crank/shells to fail.
Though a strip down of the engine will no doubt reveal the cause.....
