Ford 1L Ecoboost wet cam belt failure

Has anyone managed to get Ford to take ownership of their 1L ecoboost wet cam belt failure? they recommend replacement at 240k km but have read that it fails from as low as 70k km. the resultant damage are the engine bearings. its also a pain to find a mechanic willing to touch the cars as they describe it as a nightmare.

car has full service history, bought brand new in 2017 at Weskus Ford with 152*** on the clock, never once was it recommended to replace the belt. I have seen the oil filter captures the belt rubber debris so advising replacement would have been easy.
