Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi all, Rear ‘road springs’ appear to have failed/snapped on my Turbo S. 7 years old and 26k miles. Full service history and OPC warranty. Any ideas if this is common? Unusual? Bizarre? Seems unusual to me. No obvious potholes etc. What chances do I have for a warranty claim? Tracking checked and new tyres two years ago. TIA

POST 2Original post

Springs aren't a consumable, so I would expect it to be replaced under warranty

POST 3Original post

I had a rear spring snap on one side. Both were replaced under warranty. Hopefully it won't be a problem.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks both - there appears to be some doubt due to corrosion? Not sure there would be an expectation of corrosion after this period? I think I am going to get push back on this.....

POST 5Original post

How would corrosion be a get-out unless specifically called out in the warranty terms?

POST 6Original post

Unbelievable. Make substandard springs that corrode on crappy salty UK roads and knock back warranty claim. Class.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
