Took it to a trek dealer today and it will be warrantied, I don't know if they will send me a complete new frame or just the swing arm...... I will keep you updated.

I broke my 2011 SF100 OCLV chain stay and Trek warrantied only the damaged part. The part they sent me was a 2012 or 2013 stay which has a larger ABP pivot than the 2011. If they don't have 2011 parts left, it will mean you will need a new seat stay and a new ABP pivot as well. They have an unlimited time warranty on the main triangle (which I also broke at a different time, also warrantied by Trek) and a 5 year on the rear triangle. The retail price of each stay is just shy of $500 or about $900 for the set. I don't know about the ABP price. I was lucky and purchased an extra set with pivot before the stay broke for super cheap. So I had a new seat stay and pivot and didn't have to buy one. Of course, the cost of R&R will be on you as well. Trek doesn't cover labor charges. Good luck!
Is your warranty still valid?
Then I guess its a bad thing I hear lots of creaking on my superfly.... Now you're making me paranoid I have cracks in my frame.

Happened while just ride along at some point, just don't know when. The frame does have over 2000 miles on it.
