Hmmmmmm snapped at 30mph moderate braking...... thats not good !!!!!!!!!!!
I guess its good motivation to check everything regularly. From what was said the corrosion may have been visible before it was driven.
not good though

Corrosion on a Cateringvan
i reckon the previous owner gave it a whack on the front wheel, set the ball rolling. This fella only had it two weeks. Plus it was parked up for some time before that, maybe long enough for the water to get in and get busy?
Q. ---- "Where did it fail?. "
A. ---- " California"
So - have you seen this happen before then Jon? 
Can you remember the outcome at all?

i'm not gonna go there, just seems ironic that such a thing could happen and people suggest maybe its had a bit of a knock ?
theres two cans of worms on that thread - they nearly get onto the crush tube one!!!

Stress cracks. Any-time Any-place any-where. ( careful examination, IMHO, gives two. Primary and secondary.)
As you said John, a can of worms.
For me the download of the big picture stalled in the last few megs but from the small pics it looked like a brittle fracture --- a
welding/material spec problem rather than a design issue.
