Again, I am not taking Ford's side. BUT:

The premature wear is for a specific reason in the TSB. ie poor clamping tension between parts.

If it is found that this was the cause, then yes, it would qualify.

I can GUARANTEE that I can wear out a clutch inside 5000 km and a few weeks without totally frying it (obvious abuse), you just have to ride the heck out of the clutch.
