Just as the title suggest, I got a replacement for my Mavic about 2 weeks ago. Just today, I noticed the one that I got has a hairline fracture at the left arm. So I want to get you guys opinion, I am really reluctant to send it in because of the waiting time. So, if I want to fix it using an UHU will it void the warranty or any vital component in that part? Or should I sent it in one more time and wait for 4-5 weeks again? I have sent so many emails to DJI that when they reply to me the title is "Suspected spam".

Thank you,
Lok

Have you flown it since getting it or did you notice this first? Not that it makes a difference but it might help with your repair if it was received cracked or they may say you did it and it isn't covered under warranty.

It looks to me there is a crack on the other side of that landing leg too. The crack looks new to me also.

I would ask DJI if you can repair it yourself.
If they agree and confirm this by email i would put some superglue on it or take the advice on phantompilots

I just superglued them together and it looks like new. Just that I wished they sell more spare parts for Mavic because I do not need the whole arm, I just need the landing gear to be replaced and that can be done in 5 minutes. DJI service is not that helpful except from the moderators in this forum.
