After experiencing some jamming issues on a new build, I broke it down and found that the cam pin had broken. Has anyone else ever had this issue? I am guessing that it was a fluke manufacturer defect.

They are generally a weak point of the BCG, but normally only after significant round counts. If yours broke after 100 rounds, I would contact the manuafacturer for a warranty replacement as that relates to a defective part IF you are using a quality try milspec BCG.
If from some bargain bin shop that uses 8620 for bolt material and does not MP/HPT, I would still ask for a replacement, but in reality, return it and buy a quality BCG from BCM, Sionics, or SOLGW. |

Broken cam pins are not unknown. Usually the bolt breaks at the cam pin hole or locking lug(s) on the bolt break off first, though.
The bolt carrier group is not some place to go cheap if you want a reliable AR. A BCG from any reputable manufacturer will serve you well. |
