Default A4 trans fluid pump broke, what causes this??

I took my car out the other day for a quick spin. Just had the dealership install a new(rebuilt) tranny 4 weeks ago. The trans went out and no gears would engage. Dealership said the transmission pump went out. They are replacing it, what causes this? Was this part of my new transmission? Is this common? Could this have damaged the new transmission in any way?

Thanks for the input, however the pump failed. Are you saying that the trans is now contaminated from a pump failure?

The pump vanes break apart into little peices and screw everything up.

Got the car back today. The Dealership invoice says " R&R Trans- Replaced Pump and Body cover: Recondition to clean out debris." Do you think that its ok now or should the trans have been totally replaced again?
