Somehow my primary adjuster pushed out, threads and all, once. I was about 6 blocks from home, so no huge deal, but still. I needed a new primary cover. Warranty - natch.

Ah ok! Can the bolt be tightened?

Personally I wouldn't touch it, let the dealer check it out in case of something more serious.

Unreliable sack of crap 2010 models, everyone I know with one (one person) has had an issue! : D

Nope . . porosity.

Replace bolt.
