I think you'll find the clutch is considered a consumable, like tyres and bulbs etc, as such I reckon you've done well getting this much from them.

A clutch won't fail through poor manufacture, it'll have been abused* or badly adjusted, by whoever PDI'd or perhaps during a service, if you have any recourse it will be with your dealer not with Suzuki.

*Not saying you did, just reasons why they fail.
