Fujifilm X-T200 base panel cracked

Any fellow X-T200 owners out there seeing their base panel cracking and falling apart?

I use Peak Design straps and mounts, so my cameras usually have a PD quick release plate attached. I’ve used them on all sorts of cameras. Most recently I have had one on my X-T200.

Unfortunately it seems the base panel of my camera doesn’t like having quick release plates attached as it has cracked and is falling apart after I removed the quick release plate. I don’t believe I have overtightened it as I am using the same amount of force to attach it as I would with any other camera body, just enough to keep it from rotating. The tripod mount is recessed a little from the plastic which seems to have led to the plastic being crushed and makes me think there is a manufacturing or assembly error.

This is my first foray into Fujifilm and I’d like for it to be a longer stay but this is discouraging. I’ve contacted Fujifilm and hope they will cover it under warranty.

Has anyone else experienced this with Fujifilm cameras in general or the X-T200 specifically?
