2013 Renegade 800 Xxc Steering Issue

Wanted to see if anyone else ran into this same issue….yesterday I was 6 miles into a planned 100 mile ride on my 800 Xxc and I lost all steering and shot off the trail. At first I thought it was an issue with my power steering module but when I looked a bit, I found that I broke the shaft on the pitman right after the spline under the power steering. I could not believe that the shaft snapped like it did. I am not sure if it was my years of pounding on the machine or if this is an issue on this year/model. I am going to check my warranty status this week but any tip or suggestion if I need to replace myself.

Thanks…Scott
