Drip tape is generally considered good for one season (depending on the supplier and how much they want to cover their butts) but I've used some of the same tape for years with no issues. I say this to illustrate that you should not have failure this soon with new tape.
You should contact the manufacturer and be ready to prove that your pressure is regulated. Good luck!

What I went to was an inexpensive overhead setup using very inexpensive sprinkler nozzles screwed into 1/4" tubing, the 1/4" then plugged into the main 1/2" line with the fittings where you punch a hole in the 1/2" to connect the 1/4" tubing from the sprinkler to the 1/2".

I use a siphon to pick up ferts into the water and that has minimum and maximum number of sprinklers that will make the siphon work right.
... you do have to have a certain amount of flow, requiring a certain amount of sprinklers, before the siphon starts drawing.
