We have a '16 SOB and our bedroom cable slide didn't go completely out but began making a loud clicking sound and causing the slide to jump sort of. Had it looked at by the Factory Techs at our National Rally several years ago, they didn't have a clue, but came back the next day with the Norco/BAL Reps. One sound and they all said "Gear Box". So while they were changing it I was talking to one about a problem I had heard about the gear boxes. Turns out customers were complaining that the mech was too slow and in their attempt to fix it their Chinese Suppler didn't quite understand and used lighter weight gears. Because of all the issues/warranty claims that started coming through they got back to their supplier and fixed the issue.
Moral of the story: There are a ton of gear boxes waiting to fail on units built during the 2015 to approx 2017 model years using the BAL Accu Slide mechanism.
