Multiple news articles are reporting that this aircraft had its post-production certification only two months ago. For a problem of this magnitude to develop in such a short time is very disconcerting.
That is better than a fuselage failure, but still disturbing if you're correct - surely there are checks for exit door plugs since it would be at higher risk of failure.
Whether or not it was a plug, at the time of the incident this piece its role was basically that of a portion of fuselage.
