I fully agree with you that it is a Manufacturer's Defect. The life expectancy of a roof varies between different roof materials. Asphalt Shingles have an age of 15 to 18 years, whereas Asphalt Shingles, Architectural has 24 to 30 years maximum. There are some factors also that also contribute to a longer or shorter life of the roof such as color of roof, angle of roof slope & orientation of roof surface etc. Generally, a roof with dark color has a short lifespan whereas higher pitch roofs tend to last longer.

Cracks in your porch don't mean that there are some foundational issues bit there is always a risk that they could be a sign of any more serious damage. you also need to determine whether it is due to some surface imperfections or structural issues. I will suggest the following options: -An epoxy sealant to repair and protect your porch from further damage. -A low-pressure crack injection. -Polyurethane caulking. Thanks.
