15 xm cracked cylinder port

[Dodge man]

I recently blew up my 2015 800etec. The dealership just told me that I have a cracked port in one of the cylinders. Just wandering if anyone on here has had this experience and what may cause something like this since the dealer says they haven't come across something like this before.

What was it doing for them to determine this failure, besides blowing up?

Manufacturing defect? How many km?

Did the engine seize or lock up ?
Can break or crack cylinder between exhaust port and rave ports if it tightened up .

Do you always warm it up really well, I've seen guys just pull the rope and nut it , don't they know pfft. Do you ride just trees ? Do you always let it cool down before shut down after long pull ? I saw another 15 Doo with a motor down, do you think there's an inherent problem with the jugs on these 15's, a guy I know was told his brothers cousins brother in law that BRP used cheaper metal in the 15 jugs !! I read on the internet that the 15 and newer etec won't hold up cause the longer 16 inch wide track puts extra sustained load on. Plus , they are saying the constant leaning back and forth cause of the wiggle suspension throws the equilibrium of the engine out, can cause cracking of the cylinders near the ports, sounds like it may be true ! OMG, say it ain't so !!!!
But your spindles are good , right ?

Cracked poets are not very common, had one happen once before and was the only one at the dealer ship that had a problem, could be a molding problem

Was there any pre indications anything was wrong?

Sorry you're sad Fred, big dump of snow will help maybe.

probably between exhaust port and trnsfer port. Thats the most common area for them to crack. Usually caused from over heating. Coolant temp as wel as egt temps.
