Hi @JackieG,
Welcome to the Dyson Community, and thanks for letting us know about this. It’s normal for certain components to experience some wear and tear after a period of regular use, but it does sound unusual if this part is showing wear so soon.
The Dyson Australia Customer Care team will need to take some further details to offer the best advice. Please visit our Support page to find out how to get in touch - you can use Live Chat, Facebook Messenger, or give our Helpline a call.
We’ll look forwards to speaking with you!
It’s best to contact Dyson’s Support Team regarding this issue since such an early wear and tear sounds unlikely, especially since Dyson’s known to use premium-quality material on their products’ components.
