Looks a bit of an odd place for a crack. Once you have your feedback from dealer/importer, would appreciate a wee update on how it happened, age, use of frame etc.

Hope you get a good result

Cheers

Does look cracked but could just be superficial- many (most?) carbon parts have a nonstructural top layer as, basically, ablative protection.

Either way I'd be wanting it replaced if under warranty, whether cracked or just ugly wouldn't make any difference.
