The definition of defective is 1. having a defect or flaw; imperfect; faulty. By definition then this shingle would be defective. Does this mean the shingle will not perform?
The shingle has a granule overlay producing double thickness in parts of the shingle. In this overlay is where the defects are taking place. Blistering, cracking and such. These are visual problems that sometimes are visible even from the ground.
Now here is the interesting thing to consider. Under the overlay is a 30 yr 3-Tab shingle. Even if all the overlay fell off of your roof, you would still have a 30 year shingle protecting your roof. This is argument for the Atlas Chalet Shingle, the issue is purely aesthetic.
There are allegedly problems in the whole shingle including but not limited to cracking and blistering. If damages occur in these regions it may be more than an aesthetic issue.

Can I get a new roof? When insurance comes to inspect your roof for storm damage they are mostly looking for hail and wind damage. If they find wind damage for instance they will usually pay to replace the broken shingles if your roof is not too brittle for repairs. This amount usually does not even exceed your deductible, leaving you responsible for the repairs. They usually need wind and hail damaged shingles on all sides before replacing a roof. But not with Atlas! Just ONE broken shingle can warrant you an ENTIRE new roof. Since the Chalet is no longer available, there is no way for them to only repair the roof to match. So they usually must replace your roof with the same LKQ, Like, Kind, and Quality, which means you may get a new REAL architectural shingle roof.
