I would start with having them explain exactly what happened mechanically. If you can get more details, I assume someone here with great mechanical perspective could help determine if this was indeed a coincidental mechanical failure or more likely the result of abuse. Really sorry about this OP and hoping for a good outcome here for you. I think either way, you can make the case the "something like this should never happen to a car like this so it seems that it is either a manufacturing flaw or abuse by the driver at the dealership and either way you shouldn't be on the hook".
This is why I have a front and rear dashcam hardwired into my fuse box. I sleep better when my car is at dealer.
