I recently bought a Rocky Mountain Instinct A10 mountain bike. It arrived today. I took it out of the box and started assembling it by installing the pedals. That's when I noticed that one of the crank arms doesn't have any threads for the pedal.
What would be the best way to handle this? Should I contact the shop I bought it from, or should I go directly through Rocky Mountain's warranty? Has anyone else experienced something like this?

Cool, that’s rare! I’d bring it your local shop
Wow a press fit pedal arm…take it the lbs or coop and have them thread it.
Yes take it to the shop you bought it from.

Weird, is be concerned about the rest of it now.
Quality Control workin’ overtime
Had the same thing happen to a new drill that I bought ; the case was supposed to be threaded for the auxiliary handle to sceew into it ,and it was just like the crank arm in OP’s picture. Stuff happens.
Had a shimano Altus like this right out of the box at the shop, covid era shimano QC at its finest..
Enhance!
Wildly ive only saw this once before and it was another Rocky Mountain instinct
Defect. Get it replaced.
Bluetooth threads! Neat!
Finally: press fit pedals /s
