I'd guess the lines are made in mass volume so there will be a small number that didn't get crimped right. You landed with one of those. When we made our hydraulic lines at work, we always marked the lines before we pushed them on the metal end fittings so we would know the line was inserted all the way down. It then got placed in the chuck collar for the hydraulic crimping machine to compress it. I really doubt if you'll have mass hydraulic line failures as thousands of us have older fivers with the OEM lines still doing the job.
