I thought this was the tin can bodies. The good parts they use for the new car parts, The ones that last just until the 30 day warranty expires.

It's actually a new design to prevent over-torquing. On the up side, much easier to remove than the more common type of failure.

Bullwinkle's Hat Trick 3

This is a new type of structural failure for me...

How the heck did you do that. Never in my 40 years of living did I ever see it breaking like that.

...... Your app;ication of torque was the first real stress that it saw.

That's a little disturbing in itself since it is a fastener.
