Fuji New Bike Concern

Just purchased a new Absolute 1.3D bike for the wife. I noticed that the larger chainring has 14 teeth either worn down or chipped. Its a Oval Concepts 520 with 50/34 T the chainring is
Opraxis Works "Leva time" its not even a month old with 50 +/- miles.

Could this be a defect that fuji is marketing ? Seems that a $ 900. bike should have a better drivetrain that stands up to regular use. Its just been used as a commuter / fitness bike so far.
the derailers are standard Tiagra 9-speed, front derailer was upgraded to Tiagra as well.

Its going back to the dealer in the morning for a checkup. What should I expect from my LBS ?
I was also considering the purchase of the 1.1D model but I see its of the same components.

Anyone have experience with this "Opraxis Leva time" chainring integrity ?
