Powertrain warranty will not cover clutch related parts (disc, pressurre plate, throw out bearing, flywheel)

it will depend on 'what' is broken or worn on it. If it is something that went very premature, then you can likely get it fixed. If it is a component that isn't supposed to be replaced on an interval, it too should then be replaced.. otherwise, yeah.. you will be on your own..

Clutch stuff usually isn't warrantied for very long, regardless of manufacturer... A lot of people abuse their clutches, ride the pedal, hold the pedal in while waiting at stop lights... The latter is a surefire way to kill the throwout bearing in short order.

Note: A prematurely worn throwout bearing is usually caused by people holding the clutch out at stop lights.
Put it in neutral and get your foot off the pedal. Same thing goes for when you're moving. Get it in gear and get your foot off the pedal. The whole assembly will thank you for it.

Don't keep the clutch pedal pushed in with the engine going for long periods of time, e.g. waiting at stoplights. When I know I'm coming to a stop e.g. lights, I usually don't even use the clutch and just let out the gear when there's no "tension" on the drivetrain. Saves a lot of wear and tear
