That’s certainly a sad thing, although lots seem to have had issues with DRC. So feel for you. Did they say why it needs multiple regas?

I’m one of the fortunate ones. No problems until I figured at 7 years and 240,000kms it was getting tired so replaced the lot with factory DRC as original. Totally “back to new” although they did have to do a regas/top up a few thousand kms after the new install - done under warranty for the whole system. Now tight and exciting again, although whilst “floaty” before the refit it still hung on well enough, just not like it can be and now is back to.

Recharge everytime a new damper is needed.
