You believe this is a manufacturing defect, and from what I can tell, you are probably correct. This is referred to as a "concealed condition", one in which you could not have possibly, under normal means, been aware of at the time of purchase. This could refer to both intentional or unintentional events. Typically, there are no warranty terms for this type of condition. In other words, the warranty is effective upon you learning of the condition. There are laws for this in FL, and I perhaps in your location as well. I think you should contact the dealer you purchased the TT from and use the very specific term "concealed condition" and ask them address this problem at no cost. If they do not, then you should contact the BBB and see if they can point you in the right direction.
This is what I do before attempting the total strip down and rebuild. It won't take much time and might work in your favor. At the end of the day, if you run into wall, you'll be money ahead by fixing it yourself vs. pushing the issue.
