The returned parts were examined both with the naked eye and under magnification.The laser marks on the head and neck were slightly misaligned by 2.1°.The leading corner of the locking feature on the neck was sheared away, indicating that the stem clamp was not completely seated on the stem when the head/neck assembly was rotated to lock.This misalignment can provide a false indication that the head/neck assembly was fully seated and locked on the stem.Rotating prior to fully seating of the stem clamp on the stem can shear the corner on the neck.Additional mdr's associated with this event: mdr 3025141-2016-00142, head; mdr 3025141-2016-00143, neck.
