Broken steer gear

There seems to be a defect in steer gear assemblies of Daewoo/Doosan. The gear breaks at front mounting hole. All 3 failures on different trucks occured at same spot. Trucks did not fly off dock or suffer any collisions.
When this break occurs, the Hydraulic steel lines twist and break, and the truck is difficult to steer. If the driver keeps going, the whole steer assembly falls out after rear bolts snap off!
Anybody else in the world see this defect?

Fact of the week
In 1898, author Morgan Robertson wrote a novel called 'Futility', which described an "unsinkable" ship named the Titan that sank after hitting an iceberg. Fourteen years later, the Titanic sank in a strikingly similar fashion.
