Hello fellow riders, This is my first post on the site and was wondering if anyone has had issues with the rear end? I was taking off from a light and the rear end casing broke off where the drive shaft connects to. The dealer ordered a new one and was told they made a design change internally, wanted to know who else may have had this problem?

First off ~> welcome... and what happened to you is not something I've personally heard (not saying it hasn't happened before... just haven't heard it). Sorry to hear the news, but it sounds like something that would be covered. Do you have any pics??
was this a 2015 or 2016? I know that some of the early Slingshots had he swing arm replaced under a recall due to the fact that they would crack. Sounds like you experienced something different though.
Welcome...you will learn a little thing on this site called “Pics or it didn’t happen.” Sorry to hear about that though.
sorry to hear about your ride @Certman@56
Tell us more ..... year/model? Miles? Original owner? Where are you at? Up-to-date on recalls?
If you have a good dealer they will make it right - and hopefully quickly.
Keep us in the loop and we will help the best we can
Welcome and sorry for your misfortune!
Hopefully it is something that will be covered under warranty/recall!
Please let us know how things turn out.
@mniron beat me to the thread that already exists. I'm not sure I've heard of this one.
I had a major failure *inside* the angle drive casing, which required replacing the whole rear end gearbox casing, but I havent heard of it actually cracking.
Any other details? Year of manufacture? Hard usage? Any other problems?
Sorry to hear of your troubles, man. But, welcome. And, yeah.....pictures.
There was a complete swing arm recall done, maybe yours wasn't done.
@mniron put the post up and looks exactly like what happened to mine. The dealer had told me before it broke, that they were going to replace the rear end due to an existing oil leak, but it broke before it came in. Thank you for your responses. I will post pics sometime this week.
