This is the 4th one I have heard of or seen. Hotchkis will take care of it. Just contact them.
This is one of the challenges that occurs with hollow tubes. Another one is potentially a 3-4mm reduction in diameter at major bends. So if you have a 27mm bar, but the bend is at 23mm, then the actual bar strength will be at 23mm, not 27mm.
Here is a picture showing what I mean:

This is one of the many reasons solid bars are better than hollow.
