Can my HOA reassign my garage space?
I live in a condo association with garages. My warranty deed states that I have
‘exclusive right to use garage space 2’ My HOA is instructing my neighbor and
I to trade garages as apparently there was a mixup when the property was first
built. Do I own the specific garage indicated in my warranty deed and is the HOA
allowed to reassign garage spaces?

If i is in your deed, then the space is yours and they cannot re-assign it: they cannot take property deeed to you away from you. You and your neighbor could voluntarily agree to change this either on a temporary basis (e.g. with a license agreement to use each other's space) or permanently (by amending the deeds), but it would have to be your choice to do this.
