I doubt if there is anything actually wrong with the truss rod.

I was mainly surprised by the fact that the turns I made on the truss rod had no effect on the relief of the neck. Since it's a double-action rod, there should be even more effects with less turns.
Anyway, I've contacted a very good local luthier. I'll ask him. If I have to, I'll send it back and get another.
It's a shame becasue I really liked it.
