Mine was fixed twice under warranty and once by me before I ended up removing the fender all together. I attribute our rear fender problems to the rough roads in our area.
You mean Michigan, right? :gaah:Quote:

Mine cracked on both sides and were replaced at 20K miles...
Specifically Genesee county. I think we have some of the worst main roads in the US. Potholes are repaired by throwing some tar in them making a 4 - 6 inch hole a 2 inch hill. Then in the winter, plow trucks catch that tar mix and tear it out along with some more base road material. Then they refill it in the summer making bigger expanses of rough road. Some roads have been stuck in that cycle for over 10 years now, just getting rougher and rougher.Quote:

Both brackets had splits and were replaced under warranty last year. Just recently, the tab on the swingarm broke off. BRP offered 1 hour labor to fix.
Mines gone too !!! I took mine off because it looks way better without it.
I just had my third set replaced under warranty. I go through a set about every 10000 km. :gaah:Quote:

Pogo.
Brp replaced whole swing arm when that tab broke on my spyder.Quote:

I went for the ultimate upgrade before they broke - a RT S… :D
The bracket on the swing arm of mine broke which lead to the breakage of the fender braces. Both the braces and the swing arm were replaced under warranty at about 18K miles.Quote:
