It depends on how nice the customer is.
I think calling is worth a try. The companies do not have to legally do anything, but sometimes they might help just a little bit.
I too doubt it, but sometimes we gotta roll the dice.
I tried calling once and never got through. Problem is, they are 1K miles from me. Shipping alone is $200 one way for a short block. And when I say this is out of warranty, it sat for over 3 years wrapped in the shipping crate. Warranty expired in 2021. 100% my fault, but it is what it is.
