Steering rack failed on 45 plate mk4 Astra 16V SXI

I?ve just been told the steering rack has failed on my MK4 54 plate Astra 16v SXI (2 months outside warranty)

Has anyone ever heard of this before?

It?s only done 23K miles (with full service history)

Thanks

Have you asked for a contribution from Vauxhall?

I would have thought you have a reasonable chance providing it has a proper Vauxhall service history.

Does your car have a 2 year service interval? If so, it will only have had one service but that would be fine.
