Both mag plugs Ive had broke the same way, at the shoulder. First one failed because Pelican did not postbthe correct torque spec. Second one failed and i always used 19ft lbs torque.

If you do a search there are many cases of failures. I believe lne may have revised the plug but im not sure.

At least the plug never comes completely out while you are driving.
