What guage strings do you have on it and long have you been using that guage? Another problem could be faulty bracing and that should be covered under your warranty. But, if you put heavier strings than what Martin says you can put on that guitar, they won't cover it.
The bridge bending towards the neck is a guarantied guitar killer if it goes past a certain point. It is right up there with breaking or stripping your trussrod. Get it looked at soon.
