I'd be a little miffed, they'd better fix it for free thats a structural flaw .
Your CVT is completely different from Honda's. Other than eating some gear teeth due to massive contamination or a massive collision, the gearset on the Prius will not fail- there's nothing engaging/disengaging in the traditional sense. Honda uses a belt/pulley system. Very reliable, but interlocking gears beats flexible belts in the end, IMO.

Now back on topic...
