While it sucks to see it like that there is nothing missing. The bolt has backed out and is hitting the frame rail as you can see the rub mark. Call your dealer and talk with them but I would grab a wrench and tighten it back up again be fore I rode it anywhere. It's a 9/16" size as I have had mine in and out swapping cams around several times.

Wow. That would tick me off. I would be all over my Dealer. They should have caught that. Maybe it cracked off, but that's hard to believe in 2,200 miles.
Keep us updated. Good luck.
