Travis,

Glad all is well, certainly is a pain when your toys break, especially if it wasn't your fault!

Thanks!

I wasn't really mad that it went out, I was more frustrated that the dealer initially didn't want to take responsibility for it. Nothing bothers me more than being jerked around!

Travis,
Glad to see that they are taking care of it. I'm not sure I'd ever return to that dealer after such an attempted rip-off though...

This again begs the question of whether or not the 4th Gen rear disc brake components can be swapped over to a 3rd Gen setup. I have always wondered about this but have not taken the time to sniff around in any junkyards. Whille this would not address any seal design deficiences, it would potentially allow the rear brakes to remain functional in the event of another seal failure.
