Great question. When we first reached out to them, they thought (initially) it was our torque wrench and the low rating required for install. In other words, perhaps the calibration was off. When the new parts shipped, they indicated that it probably wasn't the torque wrench and to maintain 15nm. So I'm left to wonder if the flange had a possible issue when it was machined. The longer bolts seem like an added security. I'm sure they look at this statistically and may be including longer bolts on new shipments as it's cheap insurance.

TLDR: Yes, I'd reach out and ask if they can provide the longer bolts (4mm longer). How close are you to doing the install ?
