“Parts probably made in China.”

Actually the bolts that are failing were made here in the US. What is vexing to me is that they had them “plated” to protect against corrosion when they knew ( or should have known) that plating causes “hydrogen embrittlement” which makes the bolts susceptible to brittle fracture.
