    Default Loose Ball Bearings & Metal Ring Found in Engine Oil During 3K Mile SVC - Help!

    My BRP authorized Spyder technician found a batch of ball bearings and a tiny metal ring clinging to the magnetic drain plug inside my 2018 Spyder F3L's engine oil during the first 3K mile service - currently, it has 2746 miles. Does anyone know what these are and why this might've occurred?

    I had reported (and sent this video) to my dealer that I could hear tiny metal objects flinging around inside my engine housing back in July 2018, four months after purchasing my Spyder. dealer stated "this was normal". At the time I had 1200 miles on the odometer. I don't see any invoice indicating whether or not they contacted BRP to confirm. My Spyder is still under warranty.

    I'm curious what I need to be aware of and the extent of the damage they can cause to my engine/transmission. Your knowledge would be greatly appreciated. Dealer tech is waiting for BRP to authorise repair which I'm told could require rebuilding the bottom end of the engine.
