Default ST2 2013 model Clutch fail

Anyone had experience of premature failure on the new ST2 clutch . Lads phoned to say his 16 month old fiesta he has on Ford options since new has a slipping clutch and the main dealer want £1500 to fix as it is not covered. (car was not supplied by the main dealer that services it where he lives now) Going to ring ford in morning but 16k miles and 16 months seems pretty poor lifespan IMHO His previous focus 1.6 went well over 50k miles

It does say friction items not covered but even so I would have expected at least 50k My own company cars do well over 90 k on a clutch

thanks
