It's shown up a few times on here... Shouldn't happen when they're the top tier scope mount.
I believe mile high services spuhr warranty work?

Really good visit with Brennan at Mile High today. New side clamp already on the way. More to follow.
Appears to be quite common. They have excellent customer service to get it it sorted though. The replacement part is a lot beefier around the screws and has extra material.
Ditto @clubsportmark. The new clamp is much better. It might have become a common problem but spuhr has a fix and mile high delivers it super easily. My interaction was so good, Mile High is at the top of my go to list. Excellent service. Excellent product. Thanks again to mile high and spuhr.
Big Thank You to Brayden from Mile High for the replacement side clamp and Spuhr for standing behind their products. 
Hmm, now I’m going to go check all of mine thoroughly. Not seen this before.
Is this something that is a recent phenomenon? Most of my Spuhr’s are 3 or more years old and have no evidence of anything like this (3 out of 5 checked so far). Just looking at a 4003B, super thick and I’m trying to understand the torque required to cause this.

Hmm.
Never had issues with my NF rings cracking.

Had it happen to 2 of mine and know of countless more. Seems to be a pretty common problem actually. I’ve seen the caps crack a few times too, though not as often.
K. Only time I’ve seen this is when people torque them the same value as rings, like 60+. I have a few ISMS, never had an issue.
I think the important thing here is that they rectified the problem. Every manufactured item has a recall or a bad batch at some point. I’d bet we would all buy a new corvette, even there have been dozens of recalls for defects over the decades.
Any product produced will have defects at some point its unavoidable its part of the manufacturing process, good companies understand that and take care of their name buy rectifying the problem. Engineering is also the problem by pushing limits in the materials which on paper works but sometimes in the field it doesn't.
The new clamp is twice as thick as the old one that cracked and I believe that solved that issue going forward. Spuhr even ask for the batch number on the clamp itself for their records , being active about their product.
I purchased another Spuhr today from Europtic because I like the product even with the issue I had with my other mount, to each his own.
If it wasn't for SH I wouldn't have known about the issue and getting a replacement part under warranty , I would of just brought a new one.
Everyone makes mistakes, a top tier company will own them and replace them. Glad they took care of you!

I just received replacement base screws from MH and they are noticely longer. Your replace plate explains why!
