Engine Mechanical problem
2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

a few weeks ago my chrysler pt cruiser began leaking oil, we took it to the mechanic and he said that the water pump that we replaced only a few months ago was defective and a piece had broken off the back causing the problems with the timing belt and had also poked a hole in the oil pump. He said the water pump broke due to a manufactures defect. This problem is going to cost a great deal to fix. Is there any possiblility that the water pump manufacturer would be liable for most or any of these charges?
