Outriggers and over torsioned axle

   We have a 2019 190 Hood River (blue) and noticed some sag on the slide side.  We contacted the dealer and factory about installing and/or ordering outriggers as a preventive measure.  The factory had us send a comprehensive set of photos of both sides and, after a month of so, got back to us.  
They state that the problem has to do with an over torsioned axle and that outriggers are a preventive measure but won't fix the problem.  They are offering to return the unit to the Hood River factory to repair the problem.  Forest River will cover shipping and repair--we just have to sign a release.  We are the second owner, and the unit isn't covered by any warranty that I am aware of.  

Anyone have a similar experience or other thoughts on this?  

Thanks, Lisa
