 I'm having a hard time imagining what could have let go.  Front diff is
 held to undersides by 3 BIG bolts, in rubber mounts, and has to be
 jacked up and slid forward to come out, which the driveshaft would've

 engine???  If you have all the servicing records etc, and you know your
 dealer well, I'd go talk with them. There's a liability factor somewhere
 in there, either a bad local mechanic or faulty factory installation or
