No... if anything they now have to pay for your tow, too (they would most certainly try to get out of it before the recall). I am confused a little though... you said you cut the brown wire and removed the fuse after it failed? Neither of those solutions work after the failure; they are preemptive solutions. Beat on the sucker a bit and see if you can't get the car to turn on (put back the fuse and reconnect the wire first). Then once the car is on, remove the fuse.
