I'll probably check with my LBS to see if they'll fix my old wheel a second time. I think it had a two year warranty when new. I originally bought the first rim in July of 2023, and it failed at about 20 months. DT Swiss sent my LBS a replacement rim, and the LBS reused my original hub and spokes. This second rim failed in almost the exact same way as the first after 12 months. I wouldn't be surprised if they say I'm now almost three years in on a two year warranty, so I'm on my own.

If they cover it, great. I'll keep it as a backup.
If they sent you a new rim then the warranty should extend to that rim if it has failed. If you are say 5 years out and it breaks that is different but if your warranty item fails then it should be covered.
