1.5hdi DV5 - Camshaft chain problem?

I have got a Toyota Proace (2019) which got a peugeot 1.5 engine as it is a PSA van.

The camshaft failed and killed the engine. Toyota quoted €10200 for new engine plus labour costs.

Do I have any chance winning by holding Stellanis or Toyota liable through my legal protection insurance for the cost of the new engine, EVEN Though my engine is out of warranty (260k km or 5,5 years old)?

As all the above experiences and that French article indicate, there should have been a recall for this issue or at least a minor mention of it in the maintenance booklet.
