Engine Problem

I own a 2016 that started making a sort of ticking sound while driving on the freeway. I made it to the slow lane and the a loud sound was heard and the car just stopped as I reached the shoulder. We believed that something had hit underneath the car. We found a piece of metal covered in oil with the number 2 on lit. Had the car towed to the dealership where it was purchased. We were told yesterday that the engine was gone and something to do eith the bearings and rod, and the engine had blown. Anyone else have a problem like this?. Very upset that a 5 year old vehicle just out of warranty could sustain this kind of damage! If they don’t take care of this I’ll never buy another Hyundai. Perhaps something did hit underneath?
This is a well known failure. Hyundai replaced my 2015 2.oT at 140K no charge. Call Hyundai directly. I spoke to a rep in Cali who took care of it all including a loaner car. Good Luck.
