Hi,

It's not uncommon for the other cylinder (either the Slave or the Master) to fail shortly after the other has been replaced, I mean they have both operated the same number of cycles. For this reason, I usually replace them both at the same time. If not, the improved pressure from the new one can often place greater stress on the other causing it to fail. I strongly suspect this is what you have happening.

The Dealership may make some contribution, but they're really not obligated to. Still, it won't hurt to ask. Good Luck!...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
