Default Broken right hand drive shaft

Hi guys,

Today I managed to break the right hand drive shaft. Normal take off in first and it went bang.

Fixed under warranty, 23000km, first rego 2014. Petrol, manual hatch. Anyone else had this problem?

Dealer said its only the second one he had ever seen.

Josh

Glad they are fixing it up for you Monty, seems like the sorta thing dealers shouldn't even be seeing one break let alone 2, I wonder what the hell is going on there?
hopefully you'll have a better run with the next one.
