Only idea is to take it back to your dealer and make a claim on a bad installation. Unfortunately you have to have the dealer document it and have them work with the manufacturer. The only think I believe if could possible be is a bad original install at the factory.
Thanks for the suggestions. I may just visit the selling dealer. They have a location not too far away. That said, I have already sent the same photo you've seen to the mfr. and they have not suggested it could have been a manufacturing issue, as you might expect, and although I have they have not refuted that possibility.
