'12 2.7 4x4 5 Speed Clutch issue

Hello - I have a '12 Access Cab 5 speed who's clutch crapped out after 26,000 miles. The dealer attributed it to "pressure plates being abnormally bent and pressure plate disc heat warped causing clutch to being abnormally worn."

They replaced it under warranty so no charge to me for new clutch. Funny thing is, the new one seems to be doing the exact same thing only after about 500 miles. I have to let the clutch pedal out about 90% of the way before it engages. Anyone else hear or have this issue? Thanks and Happy New Year!
