Default Bad spring on rear SP800

I have a 06 SP800 I was noticing a slight droop on the back end of my bike. Initially I figured it was low air pressure and didn’t give it a second thought. Yesterday I took my plastic off for other service and noticed that my rear spring on the right hand side has a considerable bow in it. To the point that is 5/8” offset to one side and is now making contact with the Can. None of my other springs have this issue and are all concentric with the shock body and shaft. Has anyone else has their rear springs deform on the rear.

I only have 22 hours and 200 miles on it. I’m 180 lbs and there has never been any excessive loads and rarely if ever bottomed out. The dealer is saying this is not covered and never heard of this before…blah …blah. (Warranty ended 6 months ago) My 2000 Expedition went 2000 miles with no spring issues.

My rearsprings were both bad. I even rubbed the plastics from excessive squating. I fixed it with ranger springs. Good now
