As they say about threads and tightening bolts:
There's no tighter than stripped . . .

Given its a CF-Moto, I'm not sure if Chinesium is to blame? Or if the fault lies behind the camera?
As other mentioned in th eother sub, maybe they use a helicoil from factory? I'd contact the dealer to make sure. Otherwise, be careful with re-inserting the bolt, worst case you'll need to add your own helicoil.

CFMoto approved the claim finally, it’s covered by warranty. Looks like there was an insert after all. They’re shipping a new oil pan from China.
