I have a bike issue and I need some extra opinions on this issue

So we all know about the 24-26 recall issue for the ZX-6R. I took the bike in on the first recall notice, it passed, then I got a second letter and took it in a second time and it passed. Two months down the road after the second recall check and my bike fully died on me while I was on the freeway. Managed to get off, but when I came to a stop the bike powered off and won't turn back on. Changed the battery and no fix so I took it into the shop. The mechanic calls back after a day and says the engine is seized up. I don't know how it's possible for a one year old bike to randomly lock up the engine. If someone could, with their expertise, explain why an engine would randomly seize up. I'm thinking the mechanics didn't change the oil after doing the recall check and they put the old oil back in twice which caused my engine to seize. If there's another possible explanation then I'm willing to listen.
