Trailer brake breakaway failure - possible warranty claim?

Cliff's notes: New trailer (less than 1 year) emergency brake cable unknowingly pulled and did not lock up the brakes but engaged them enough to destroy the brakes after about 50 miles. Is any of this...

did this the first day I got my 5th wheel. Went to a lot to practice backing and inadvertently pulled the safety out. Being new i had no idea this happened but I felt something was wrong

So I towed it back to the dealer and arrived with clouds of smoke billowing out of the trailer brakes.

Fortunately did not ruin the brakes
