Default Catastrophic Engine Failure at 84k miles

Every maintenance done on time and never let a dashboard warning or light on for this beautiful 2016 TD6. Unfortunately my extended warranty on it was a scam so I decided to sell the car. But the week I did, it stopped on the highway and never turned back on. After a full month at the shop I got the news that it had a catastrophic failure.

I still cannot absorb the news! Where do I go from here? Other than the engine, everything is is great shape. What are one’s options here?

Curious if there is a forum tracking this issue with the td6 engine in particular.
