Engine Failure Problems of Mitsubishi Outlander

I own a 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander sport with 110,000 miles on it. Other than the recalls I have had no issues. Frequent oil changes, brakes, basic maintenance nothing else. Minor acceleration issues as per the recall. I was driving home on the parkway at the speed limit of 65mph and heard a sudden knock, the car shuddered and died. Thankfully I reacted quickly and pulled over the minute I knew something was wrong. I got out and there was oil all over the road way. Being a novice mechanic I pretty much knew the engine was dead. Towed to healey brs Mitsubishi beacon NY and 4 days later they confirmed that there was a hole in the engine and it would need to be replaced. They had no explanation for the sudden failure but did confirm that it was sudden and not due to any lack of maintenance on my part. The car is 3 years old with sudden engine failure, on a dark highway on christmas eve. I am thankful that I was safe but still want an explanation. A friend of mine who used to work for Mitsubishi informed me there is a problem with the third piston on these engines but the mechanic in beacon would not confirm either way.
