It is very possible that you need new brake pads, especially if your other ones only lasted 41K. Saab uses fairly soft pads, and I have heard of them lasting anywhere from 16K to 80K, depending on the type of driving you do, and how hard you use them.
I don't believe rotors would be covered under the 50K warranty, since they are a wear-and-tear item. But they might be, as someone mentioned, covered under the 17K "warranty", for items such as wiper blades, etc. I don't remember the details, but it is in the manual (it doesn't apply to your mileage anyway).
Take the car in and have them checked, it's a very simple thing to do. Have them remove the wheels and MEASURE the thickness. You don't want to be driving around with worn out brakes!
