Uh... NGK plugs for U.S. market are made in Wood Dale, IL and Sissonville, WV by American workers. That may be problem as U.S. made Toyotas have much worse paint and lasting decades less than their Japanese countreparts. I won't say anything about reliability of U.S. made bikes compared to foreign brands, although that may be improving as plants are moved to India. Could be manufacturing defect; I've encountred with all brands. Champion seems to be worse out of them all.

Did you screw plug down as far as it will go by hand?
How many turns was that?
Did you use torque-wrench to turn it rest of way?
What torque was wrench set to?

Luckily, there's already hole in threaded section where an extractor can fit.
