I realize that all mechanical devices have their own set of problems, 
but you've just got to love this piece of marketspeak.  We're going to 
replace overpriced, shoddy equipment we sold you so that we're 
consistent with our commitment not to sell shoddy equipment.

It...makes...my...mind...hurt....AARGHH!!

And BTW, is that crank chucked in a lathe at the Lycoming manufacturing 
facility?  Are all cranks hand-made, or is that just the reason we call 
them Lycosaurus?
