Since they started selling these things, many folks have modified them in many ways.

I have never had a hose failure, but I did replace my standard hose with a longer one.

I know the two owners of Motive personally. I have been to their facility many times. They are car guys just like us.

One of them is also a pilot, with, let's just say a pretty high level of training in some pretty high end machines. Very bright and meticulous guy.

I always recommend contacting the manufacturer if/when something goes wrong and you suspect materials and/or workmanship. That way they have the largest possible data set to help inform future product designs and/or existing product enhancements.
