Hmmm.... A crack in the final stages maybe :lol: I sure wouldn't want to be the person driving when that failure occurred, it would be like a very large mongrel dog on a chain hanging off the back of the tug

Typical problem when you weld transverse (across the chassis) without longitudinal welded reinforcing plates, if that is the case here (can't quite see).
Hundreds of boat trailers (not G&S) in the NT have failed before EXACTLY the same type of failure.

It looks like a butt weld badly done.

Let's see you try to stitch across that gap.
Looks like a butt weld with No "v",
and no penetration.
It's clean along the line of material.
No weld penetration showing there at all.
Just top dressing Mainly.
AMP's too low, hardly any fusion?.
They didn't even "v" it from looks of.
to give some strength.
Economising to the Nth degree.
Probably machine welds, A Welder would see-feel it.

Looks more like a break not a crack to me, poor welding

Welded by so called tradesmen. There is a big difference between pressure welders and t/as. Cost cutting. maybe robotic not set correct
This is described as a crack?
