That looks like 10 or 12 gauge steel. You could probably watch that flex with just a grown man jumping on it, yet alone an almost 2 ton car.
The joke is who would produce a product with such a thin gauge upper control arm. I can appreciate wanting to make it right but making it right would entail some beefier metal in the design.
X2, hard to believe people would still support a company that makes a crap piece like this. The right thing to do would be to recall all of the units.But thats not going to happen because they have no fear of repercussions because they include a waiver with the parts stating they are not liable for any failure etc. for off road use only. If anyone is hurt or even killed they are safe from prosecution otherwise you better believe tey would recall the parts.

A company cannot unilaterally waiver itself out of liability for damages if product has a design defect. I am not commenting on whether or not there is a design defect, just on liability.

I doubt as an average consumer I would have the means to take any of these companies to court.
Guys since everything seems to be based off a close up picture and the OP has not actually seen the product in person there seems to be quite a few assumptions made.
If you actually see these in person you will see they are stout and not something that could be made in the garage. As of now we don't know the whole story on this particular unit. As i mentioned before we will analyze the item with our R&D team when it is returned.
We spend hundreds of hours testing all of our products before releasing them to the public. The majority of Whiteline dealers that sell our product also wanted to test the products and did before bringing into there lineup and did. Additionally it has been tested by autocrossers, road racers, drag racers and even professional drifters.
I was a passenger at a airstrip event for one of dealers that had our complete kit minus the watts link and we did 186mph on a run. I would not risk my own life or my friends if our products weren't great quality.
On a side note our Watts does fit 2013 models here is the info off our website
2011+ Suits coupe only - excl convertible, 2012-on Boss 302 & 2013 GT500 models.
I would let whiteline look into it.
We do not know all the facts here.
Saying their products are junk is not the best way to go about it.
I feel that bad business especially from a vendor.
I seen failures posted with BMR products breaking front lower control arms, does that mean they are junk too?
Nope it sure doesn't............ BMR does make a good product.
I am still wondering who was the shop/tech that installed the part? I think that him/they would be just as responsible for the failure.
