Default Clutch Petal Feels Sticky?

I just got my clutch, throwout bearing, and fork replaced by the dealership. Now my clutch petal feels sticky, not smooth, when releasing it. Sometimes it even gets stuck half way. Could the issue be due to the master cylinder? Thanks for the input.

The clutch will likely need to be bleed again. Mine needed to be bleed about a week after the job when all the air settled.

Since the dealership did the job - take it back to them. Work and parts are guaranteed (parts for 2 years - some parts forever..)
