Over structure Cracked 12 pro

[sprinkfitter]

I was looking over my 12 pro today waiting on my new 13 Pros motor mods to be completed and I found this, we ride hard but really not sure about this, only incident was last year took out a lower A arm on hidden stump, no other damage to sled, anyone else seen this? This is were front and rear over structure bars meet.

The top picture is the worst, you can see moisture coming out of the crack which looks broke. The next picture is a hairline fracture and will break soon. Are these aluminum cast pieces?
Looks like you need some warranty work.

Good luck!

Took an a arm out? If iit was enough to damage suspension it likely caused this failure, since the suspensiion hardpoints are tied into the vehicle structure. It may have started as a crack and worsened from thermal expansion and contraction.

Ya i had pics of mine last year they warranties it for me cause there was no damage anywhere else. Everything was perfect other than the over structure failed then the one they warranted broke during installation so they ordered another one. But while i waited for the part i welded the old one and it held together fine.

thanks my neighbor has a mig with a spool gun so I will weld it up probably add a little backer plate and should be good.

I found the same thing on my 12 after I bought it from a dealer, was also fixed under warranty
