Hi all. Yesterday I was inspecting my P2V+ and found some tiny cracks around the motor screws on all 4.Should I be concerned ? Should I take it back to the dealer ? Has it happen to any of you before ? It this covered by the guaranty ?

[EDIT - 25/01/15]

Thanks for your help.

Photos please.

I can confirm that,it is not isolated problem, got some of this on my customers quads.

You have warranty, call you dealer or dji support.

Contact your dealer ASAP to arrange a replacement.
And could pls post a photo about those tiny cracks?

Glue gun and very sparingly recoat....   works well, but its stress and over tightening etc....

Same problem only 10 flights.

Will keep an eye on this for sure as I am 25+ flights...
One thing I noticed from your photos is the markings on your motors as "2312"
I have a new P2V+ V3.0 and no markings at all on my motors...hmmmm...need to check into this as I am wondering if I received old stock!

I think I know what the problem is. After a few flights I removed the top shell to inspect components. When removing the screws I noticed what looked like blue thread locker. So when I replaced the screws I applied a small amount of blue thread locker. Made sense to me, but after looking through some instructions under maintenance I noticed it said do not apply any thread locker or it may corrode the plastic frame. So I guess I am now out $60 for a new shell.  

I inspected my brand new phantom 2 today. Only 7 flights, and i notice some cracks too. Even at a point where no screw is placed. Huge dissapointment, again.. My phantom 1 never had this problem, and was taken maybe 10 times apart. The new phantom only 2 times to build in iOSD and ESC check. No way the screws are tightened too hard. Send it back i guess?

yes anaerobic adhesives like threadlockers are poison to most thermoplastics and hairline cracks are often a sign of use of such a non plastic safe threadlocker compound since it migrates into the plastic and causes embrittlement.
