SsangYong Korando new propshaft bearing, will manufacturer contribute?

I have a 2016 SsangYong Korando 2.2 ELX4 auto. I had to have a new prop shaft fitted (£1,453) due to failure of the centre bearing. I accept the vehicle is out of warranty, but a failure at under 28,000 miles suggest faulty materials to me. The supplying dealer attempted to get a cost contribution from SsangYong who refused. I wrote to them direct on 7 December but had no contact from them, not even an acknowledgement of my letter. Is there any assistance you can give me please?

It will be difficult to prove this is a manufacturing fault but it's worth following up your letter to SsangYong to see if they will change their mind about making a contribution.
