SB66 allow swingarm crack :-( Advice?

[samy]

My Super Bike 66 XL has a bit more than 3 years old and i've discovered a crack as you can see on these 2 pictures:

I'm out of warranty period and i'm trying to challenge Yeti to propose a promotion or commercial discount as most of our allow swingarm does crack here.

In the mid-time, i've seen that Yetifan is selling the part. But it's not cheap as well and do you know if it his a reinforced swingarm to avoid again the same issue?

What do you think about Yeti's ability to propose me an acceptable deal? Any others similar cases?
And if not, do you think that the good option is to replace my swingarm or give up Yeti and moving to a full new bike and brand?

Thx for your opinion and feedbacks.

Yeti gave nothing as they explained to me that my frame is 3 years old and that it's not so often that their customer experience this issue... Grrrr, thus, I bought a new rear triangle full price to Yetifan who made a good work to track the shipment and deliver it to me according his comitment of 6 weeks. 

Bike rebuilt last week, hope to have 3 years ahead me... My next bike will probably not be a Yeti, except if i'll have a super good deal like this one with 50% discount !

Found it on yeticycles.com
"FAULT REPLACEMENT POLICY

YETI Cycles will make replacement parts available at a minimum charge to the original owner in the event of a crash or any other non-warranty situation. YETI Cycles does this at its sole discretion and reserves the right to refuse this offer." - of course they always find the way out...
Good you solve the problem yourself(guess it cost you almost the same u paid for bike) Hope the new triangle will last longer:)
