Dual Mass Flywheel on an S-Max

I noticed a vibration on the car when going through 2000 - 2500rpm in gears 3-6 and reported it with no success. Yesterday noticed idle was dog rough so took in again and Ford says the flywheel has disintegrated! It's only done 62k! I am now worried as I've ordered a new 2011 140 tdci Titanium S-Max.
