good questions, I dont know re the precise failure mechanism. All I know is that in each case after about a season of riding I'd start to get some "slipping" when pedaling and then within a few kms I could spin the cranks forward and nothing happens at the wheel. LOL. The shop seems rather familiar with this and simply proceeded directly with warranty.
And yes, Trek does seem pretty good on the warranty end of things. Aside from the time required, its a pretty much "no questions asked" sort of thing. However, my shop is excellent and I suspect that plays a role too.
