Has nothing to do how it is plugged in. It depending if coil is positive of negative when it's plugged in. Can technically happen to any power head.

bushing, coil, would be same thing. yea there would be something that would make the bushing always want to turn forward, even if it wanted to go backwards. If companies didn't have something that made them go forward more then backwards, they wouldn't still be on the market today. Its good to hear they sending you new covers to fix your problem.
