I got it replaced under warranty a month ago, it exploded in August. Since then i have installed a DHX5.

damm

do you know your serial nr. /? cause mostly these flaws are in a production line.. so lets say about a 100 + and minus your number orso ..
mine is stil okay but i only got to ride it twice this year.. and i hope this doesnt happen on a vakation trip

your the 3rd one i have seen so far on PB so i hope this does not spread like a disease

I waited for two months by the time it was sent back repaired finally.

Yep, on a 30cm stupid jump! And my legs were washed by the oil inside...
