3. Some massive impact - though unlikely considering the lack of marks on the can.

4. Manufacturing Defect - it can happen!

There are others too! Best bet would be to send it back to your Reedy distributor/LHS to see what they say - if it's a warranty job then .
+1

I would add also the free spinning and rev too high (bonded rotors have a limit of less 60000rpm I seem to remember)... =centrifugal force
