I am thankful that there appear only to be a handful of such failures - the few instances above are certainly the only ones that I have any knowledge of.
I crack test all of the components listed above before fitment and almost all are absolutely fine.
If this were a serious defect I consider that we would be reading actual reports about this particular failure on a monthly, if not weekly, basis from a plethora of sources.
Crack testing kits are a useful addition to the garage kit - easy to use and cost effective, they will give piece of mind quickly after which choices can be made between another original or a first class replacement.
