I think that such a large brand as Sony should eliminate the consequences of marriage in their equipment. Even if it is bought abroad. After all, you can send a request to the country where the equipment was purchased, receive a confirmation of the sale-purchase, and then make repairs here, followed by sending prices for spare parts and work from the country where the lens was purchased. Be careful with the purchase of this model, because. after sitting on the forums, I came across similar problems with many users.
