the dreaded serpentine belt explosion hits

So my drive belt pretty much shattered yesterday going about 40mph on sunnyside road in clackamas. I felt a "bump" then the red battery light came on and I lost power steering. Pulled over and checked and nothing visible damaged and managed to pull as much of the belt pieces out. Drove home with no power steering and praying to the gods my battery didnt give out.



Got home, jacked it up, removed under carriage cover, and removed all the belt pieces. Inspected pully's and for any leaks around crank case.



No leaks, no damaged pullys (will have to remove to verify backside)

My car had the drive belt replaced at kuni on 12/20/12 and they have a 2 year warranty on parts. Power steering pump replaced on 7/15/13.



Any way to fight for a warranty fix on the drive belt? less then 2 years and about only 10k miles.
