Hi everybody, I was hoping someone could give me some guidance on where to go with an issue after my phantom was returned from a software RMA. I had sent it in due to the "No signal" problem and it was fixed for free and quickly which was fantastic and I really appreciate it. However as can be seen by the pictures below the bird returned with several cracks in the end of the arm often associated with overtightening of the screws. I do a pre flight inspection before every flight and the cracks were not present which leads me to believe it took place during the repair. Any help from DJI or suggestions from anyone would be great and even more simply do you think this is safe to fly?

You should always secretly mark your bird before you send it in. This will make sure you get yours back.

Did you happen to record and compare the serial # on the UAVs sent and received from DJI N/A?

I do know for a fact that it was the same transmitter so unless they purposely switched my bird then rebound the controller which I highly doubt its the same quad
