I stopped at my dealer and asked them about the broken spring. They replied that it is covered under warranty! They can't get parts for the bed extender, so, they have ordered me a whole new bed extender! The end of the bed extender containing the spring is only held on by 2 torx screws and one nut. It would seem to be more cost efficient to just replace the end. I guess that I shouldn't complain.
