Pa 360 drive problems

I recent bought a hobie pa12 360 this year after couple of month my 360 drive making sound like ratting after a whiles some tiny small black bearing tooth (if they what they’re call) came felling out over 20 of them from the bottom between two fins. I talk to other Pa 360 owner, they’re having the same issues they told me it’s their 3rd drive they replaced. Most likely a common problem. I’m asking for a warranty to see if it’ll cover it but still if the problem doesn’t solve it And soon or later it’ll continue again. I hope that hobie find this issues and permanent solve it. Overall I love the 360 turn it’s male casting lures, fighting against wind so easy.
