Think it'll be warranty?
Unfortunately, I don't know the back ground, but saw this pic on another forum that was supposedly taken locally.

Dangerous
With today's hydroformed frames...they are of higher alloy than the old days and
the hydroforming work hardens the metal alloy
Meaning that 'bending it back' only further fatigues that area...unless they
annealed it, then bent it back...then re-hardened it...which I suspect is highly
unlikely
Busted 'there' because the cab bolted to the frame effectively increases the
frame boxed area around the cab. Ditto the bed...that increased the boxed section
of the frame back there.
So the area where the frame bent/busted is just the frame's boxed
area...AKA stress raiser area, or weakest section
Dangerous and scary that there are folks with these bandaids out there...
