Caught a bad solder joint on a brand new radio stack yesterday

I was bench testing a brand new Garmin GNC 255 and it kept dropping power for no reason. Pulled the case, a pin on the backplane had a cold joint that barely touched the pad. Has anyone else found factory defects slipping through lately?

Three Garmin navaids in my shop last month all had bad pins.

Buddy had a brand new King radio fail on a hot day last summer.
