Give them a call, and send them this pic, they will correct the situation. In my 50 years of existence, without a doubt, some of the very best people I've ever dealt with.

I don't think so.it is not a cast jaw but a stamped out steel jaw.I would call it a stress crack due to a bad batch of steel.Present in each trap? Better make a call.

In any case, I hate sending stuff back. I could fix that with a TIG welder in about a minute including setup time. No grinding required.

That is what it is for what you stated. It happened when some steel is bend for the way the steel is made.I seen it when I use to work for a welding repair shop years ago.
