I also have the view that units should be shut down if not serviced annually. Again, not a popular viewpoint but if we are going to reduce accident rates we need to learn from other industries where unstable life critical systems are used.

While I agree with this..........(after all in th US we do have cars inspected yearly) I am reluctant to send my unit back as I have a sneaking suspicion that it will have cracked handset that resulted from user abuse

. If a company would admit a design problem and work to fix same, I would feel much different.
So,as I see it, you have two choices, either send in the unit and put up what I consider customer abuse, or replace the part with an after market unit. I chose the latter.
