good evening everyone,
So I have been in a warranty battle with my local dealership for the last 6ish months regarding the alignment of the rear wheels.
I had posted previously about some odd tire wear showing up on the inner half of the right rear tire. since then the Pioneer has gone bac to the dealership where they changed both upper and lower control arms along with the shock. As I feared all efforts were completely in vain ... nothing corrected the issue and I am left with a machine where the right rear tire is more than 3/4".
Now the dealer has come to the conclusion that the frame is tweaked or twisted in some way, and we are waiting for Honda Canada's response for the next steps. My dealer has confirmed that in 2023 there were a couple isolated cases of Rubicon quads coming off the assembly line twisted but nobody can confirm any issue with the Pioneers.
My question to you the almighty internet: has anyone seen anything like this before and how was it resolved?
If they offer a frame swap I don't think that I would trust my dealer to complete the task without creating more issues, plus I don't want to be without my machine for several more months. As of right now my Pioneer has sat at the dealer for a total of 14 weeks ... uncovered![Mad :mad: :mad:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
