Shawn,
Let's see if I understand this: the parts are warranted for 6 months, the
labor for 1 year.  But, each is a separate warranty.  Now what if the work
(labor) was botched in a manner which causes a covered part to fail after 6
months but within 1 year?  Also, is it possible that the premature failure of
the bearing was caused by some sloppy assembly work (again, labor)?

I do not know what SPIEL, as in Autospiel, means in German but, I do know
what it means in the King's English and I think you are being fed a large
helping of it.
