I think the problem is just as likely to be the chassis design as it is the material. Perhaps both.
The later chassis have been modified to address a design weakness not a material one.
I'm surprised that an owner has been told to weld the crack and monitor it, I can tell him exactly what will happen. It'll crack again.
Actually on reflection I'm not surprised.

This owner lives Stateside I think doesn't he - disgraceful and IMHO downright irresponsible and dangerous advice as they have no quality control on the welding taking place.
I fear the worst will happen one day with these frame failures and they will have to face their responsibilities then and it could well take the company down, surely it's better to grasp the nettle and be in control of the situation right now.
Hiding your head in the sand will suffocate you one day for sure.
