Another Crack in my Ninja 50/4500 Tank

Hey guys, so this is my second ninja tank. The first one had cracks in it and Ninja replaced it for me. Now this tank that I have, the replacement one that was sent to me, has a crack in it too. So I'm not sure what to do about this. I will be contacting Ninja though and asking them about what to do.

UPDATE:
Just letting you guys know this is a 2010 tanks, and from what I read, any tank older than 2012 can have this issue. I messaged Rob and Nate from Ninja and I have yet to hear back from them yet. I did find this link to report cracked tanks on the ninja site and I have filled out the information and I just want to check with Rob and Nate to make sure I'm in the system before I ship out my tank

UPDATE #2:
I got my tank back, recoated in the new gel. Everything seems good! Thank you again Rob and Nate for helping me with my problem! You guys literally have the best customer service

Here are some pics:

Your best bet is to contact Ninja directly, or Rob from Ninja on here. I'm sure they'll take care of it

That doesn't look like a crack, more like a gash. diving on knives lately?

Yeah, that definitely looks more like something that had a cause rather than a manufacturing defect.

Its an older bottle with the first gen gel coat that could develop a small crack after a while. These are a little different than the batch that went out with the bad gel coat earlier this season.

Btw, this gel coat formula has been revised and we have not had any issues since releasing it at the beginning of August or on any of the bottles being sent in to be reworked.
