    Centrifugal or centripetal force will spread the gear oil down one face of the rotor eventually and could cause the vx to pull during braking

    Ok, so this is something I want to have done.
    How soon? I was told that it wasn't an urgent safety concern, to check on it within the next 3 months (but that was prefaced with "it's not like I could get the parts today anyway).

    If I can this done under warranty, I'll pressure the dealer. If not, how much does this cost? (so I can set money aside for it)
    Thanks to all for any advice.

    The powertrain warranty includes all the seals and bearings.. I did the brakes myself, noticing there was wear on the bearing and the rear axle seal on the passenger side was bad. So I put the bad bearings back in with the new rotors and took it in and the gave me a hard time with the warranty. I got out the book, pointed out that all that stuff was under warranty and then they fixed everything for free.... I was at ~75k miles...
