Give em a call and explain the situation. Try to get in touch with a higher up if they give you the run around.
Also see if they'll offer an upgrade or replacement. I've had other manufacturers offer me a replacement for a small fee if not free for problematic reels that had to be sent in.
Worse case scenario, having someone else or yourself tear it down and repair it.
