Take it back to where you bought it for a refund.

you will probaly have the usual "check the door for defects before fitting"

is the bow into the lock or away from the lock!![does the lock touch or a 6mm gap]

The door has to be pushed in to get it to lock at centre

ease the door stop by 3mm top and bottom if that dosnt help ease the striking plate a mm or 2
your door is unlikly to get better it may get worse but having to spring it shut should keep it in check

I had a similer problem on site once when door rep was called out no help atall.said we had not primed top and bottom of door therefore moisture had affected doors,all had bowed as you said, we did safe a couple by laying on flat surface put board across and blocks on top
