That can happen with any manufactured part, QC doesn't check every single piece coming out of a factory, only samples from batches. Just ask your local motorcycle dealer, they'll tell you that any brand has parts that randomly fail on brand new rides. In the case of the speedo puck, it could be manufacturing flaw, or assembly error.
