Just a general sub-note: Rule of thumb is you need 3 diameters of thread engagement (depth) in alum to account for the approx 3x difference on strength. I try to use the longest screw that will fit and try for 3.5-4x. Shorter engagements definitely need steel inserts, but the inserts still need 1.5-2x min engagement.
I agree, the bolt they use for it doesn't have nearly enough thread engagement for aluminum to handle the torque they call for. It's all fixed now and better than ever
