New Bike w/ Oil Leak

Bought Brand new 2011 FXDWG and after 400 miles the front cylinder is leaking oil at the base. Dealer tore it apart and informed that there is a milling flaw in the case which is the cause of the leak. They told me that Harley instructed them to use some type of gasket sealant to correct this problem. The dealer had informed me when I dropped off the bike that this could be a case issue in which Harley would replace the motor if that was the case and now here I am with a brand new bike with "glue" holding the motor together. As far as I'm concerned, Harley is a joke and I should have bought a Yamaha!!!!!
