Just had (MY21 XC40 T3) first service - excess wear on 180degree crankshaft thrust bearing. New crankshaft and (now 369degree) thrust bearing to be fitted under warranty. Wondering if anyone else has experienced this. Apologies to the technically minded if this description is a little lacking!

Think its some of the manual T3's that had the half-thrust bearing fitted? And have read that the fitting of it rather than a full-thrust bearing may be a factor that has contributed to clutch failure stories - once they have fitted the full-thrust bearing Ovlov you should be good to go :)
