Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Set No: 8143  Name: Ferrari F430 Challenge
* 
8143-1 (Inv) Ferrari F430 Challenge
690 Parts, 2007
Sets: Racers: Ferrari

* Delete 1 Part 32278 Black Technic, Liftarm 1 x 15 Thick (Extra)

Comments from Submitter:
From a sealed box I found 1 bag torn and this part loose in the box. I did not have this part as a spare in my sealed box. I would not expect Lego to supply a spare technic part of such a size and wonder if those providing inventory previously had acquired in their sealed box an extra due to other cases of bag tearing, ie it was more likely that receiving this part as an extra was rare rather than the norm. Consequently, It is my opinion that this should be removed and would be interested to know if you agreed.

I do not agree. The set contents have been verified by three different members
since the extra part was added. All three verifications were done from sealed
set contents.

  I would not expect Lego to supply a spare technic part of such a size

What about this as a spare part?

 
Part No: 4282  Name: Plate 2 x 16

4282 Plate 2 x 16

I found that as a spare in this set:

 
Set No: 60148  Name: ATV Race Team
* 
60148-1 (Inv) ATV Race Team
230 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 2017
Sets: Town: City: Off-Road

Removal of the extra 2 x 16 plate was attempted unsuccessfully:

Although large extra parts are unusual, they do happen.

  I did not have this part as a spare in my sealed box

Extra parts vary by location. Sets packaged in one location may include them,
while sets packaged in another location may not include them. For that reason,
extras are rarely removed from inventories.

In the case of this set, I would not expect the request to be approved.

Larger parts are sometimes packed loose in the box especially when they appear
in smaller sets. In those cases an extra is often included.
