Default Cracked rear hub on 2018 EC300

Hey guys,
Just a heads up. I noticed slight play in my rear wheel after loading up the bike to go for a ride. Thought it was strange since the bike only has 70 hours of easy trail riding and never blasted the hubs with a pressure washer.

I found a crack on my rear hub (brake disc side) that has been letting water in and flogged out the bearing. It was full of rust, even the spring in the oil seal was pure rust. While staring at the hub face I notice one side was thicker then the other so it had been machined for the bearings and oil seal off-center. The crack developing on the thinnest part obviously.

Please check your hubs around the oil seal for cracks. Not sure if the off center machining on mine is a one off Monday morning or Friday afternoon job but check it out anyways. I wish I noticed it while I still had warranty.

It's my first time posting and have no idea how to post pics.
