Default Street Bob Headlamp Shell Fractured

Anyone had a problem with the headlamp shell fracturing around the mounting rivets?

My bike is 10 weeks old and 1000 miles.

I thought that it might be just the rivets loose but looking closer, there are fractures in the shell around the rivets and the paint is flaking off.

Take it to your dealer. It sounds to me as if it was defective.
