That's the same warranty criteria that polaris uses. I broke a rear stock cv joint and ,of course getting it back home the boot just wound up on the axle and was mangled. My rzr was new and still under warranty but since the boot was torn they wouldn't cover it.

I learned to carry some needle nose pliers and a screw driver to pop off the cv boot bands when a cv would break and slide the boot up onto the axle so that it wouldn't tear. It saved a lot of my buddys the trouble I had went through with polaris concerning the warranty issues.
