2012 800 RZR S – Rear Diff Failure

Just 2k miles on it, recent fluid change and inspection. Never abused. Headed for Arizona for some riding with local folks. Started on on an easy 100 mile loop….70 miles into ride, and in 2-wheel drive, I was stopped and when I took off all kinds of clatter from rear of RZR. Got out and noticed diff fluid on ground. Rode out to access in front wheel drive (4X4). Had to get ride forty miles back to truck. Took it in to local RZR dealer (Sun Valley, AZ) and showed him the damage (pinion gear head sticking out of bottom of diff.) Bearing failed. He said the rear diff’s were back ordered from the manufacturer and he would not get it till early June. This was on May 6th. Left it there for the extended warranty work. Will continue on my long trip and get back to Sun City area in Mid June to pick it up, hopefully. :rm_thumbdown:
