They already are aware of this sort of thing.

They sell on average in excess of 25,000 machines of this model per year and have done so for many years. That is their stop production level and if it falls below that mark they will cease production. I have 2 extra machines of varying age that are waiting to replace this one should it ever give up the ghost, or if I would need parts.
