Warped Rudder

My rudder has been a fairly constant source of frustration. In the cool morning, controls are too loose, and the slight warping of the rudder, causes the nose to fall off sharply to port unless I keep a firm grip on the control. By hot afternoon, it is so stiff as to be challenging to move at all.
Warp doesn't look like a lot in pic, but when steering is loose, it is way more than enough to make it turn by itself quickly.
I bought the kayak in January. Anyone else notice their rudder warping?

Have your dealer file a claim if the rudder is twisted. This can happen if in storage it had some load on it, but they are thin and we have seen some bend in transport too.
