Mine cracked day 1 when I adjusted everything to my comfort. I just rigged it back on and where I wanted.

Sounds like RAD should do a Recall.

nah this is why you have bke mechanics put together your bike. often out the box the derailer needs to be adjusted and if you got a shimano altus everytime you take off your back wheel or crash you might have to adjust your derailleur. its part the game.

Way to go, Dick; nice work and I'm sure she appreciates having a working spare now.  Seems like a pretty dumb engineering design to prevent easy inspection and access to a 10-cent part that's designed to break and be replaced.  Reminds me of the new keylock design that can't shut down power to the bike at all.

you forgot to mention the key is generic and anyone can buy one. i don't get the point of the lock on the 6 plus.

THOSE NUTT BRAKES ARE SUPER MEH AND AINT WORTH THE MONEY TO BLEED OR BUY KITS TO BLEED.

you get them dialed and in a week or so you are right back where you were.  you are better off upgading to shimano, magura, or sram brakes which  are much easier to beed and work with.  my magura brakes where a super easy install and worth every penny.

THOSE NUTT BRAKES ARE TRASH.

everyone seems to have these issues with them and bleeding them. i just replaced my nutt brakes with magura mt5's. the magura's literally come bled and the instal is so easy compared to the older versions of the rover/rhino.  you don't have to feed your brake lines through the frame so you don't have to do anything to unseal the brake line. the underplate just unscrews ands bang bang one two done. the guy i work with got a step down and his brakes went out around the same time as mine. i bled and replaced the pads but the nutt brakes are poop and won't hold mineral oil, i couldn't even get the back to bleed or hold oil at all so the last 3 weeks i just was front brake only. i told him to go buy a new set of brakes but let the shop  play the game and spent a grip in labor trying to get those brakes to work instead of instead of starting fresh.

i spent 500 for top of the line brakes while he spent 350 trying to maintain a 40 dollar set of brakes..
