Eesh! Unfiltered.
Guess the good news is the internal spring held it all together until you cut it apart. Might PM Jay Buckley (user name Motorking) to see if he might be interested in taking a look, he might send you a few filters for your trouble, he's our resident Champion Labs guy.

There are Toyota ones that have no end cap at all-but it should have been glued on anyway. Bet Jay helps him out, they want to see what went wrong.
I'm willing to bet that under pressure it would still seal up and work fine. I hate ecores because of the plastic cage but Toyota doesn't even use end caps.id rather have a failure like this than a torn pleat anytime however this day in age quality control should create no failures at all oil filter designs are so old that they should have it fiqured out by now.
Seams like I remember reading that ecores are fuzed together not glued.

Lol well sorry for their tech guy but I don't keep junk filter parts laying around and it wasn't on my truck soo I didn't care a whole lot about hunting someone down to complain to just figured I'd post it since it's not a normal thing for me to find when I chop open filters and I have nothing against champ filters I personally use baldwin filters and I have a few older style Champs laying around with metal endcaps and for info on the filter it came off of a 2011 5.4 f150 had a little under 5k on the filter using castrol white bottle

Gota love the ole escrap!
Seems like every ecore ever posted is half glued.
Junk in my opinion I'm not a gambling man so I just spend the extra money to pay for better quality
Looks like an STP filter to me. Not sure if CHAMP makes them or not.
