I checked our 340 (built Apr '05) & all welds were intact & show no signs of fatigue. The brace material was approx 1/4" thick & welded both sides to riser pipe. I weld for a living, not structural, but I know a good penetrating weld with proper amount of fill when I see one. I weight 235lb & don't tread lightly so unless you've had much heavier traffic I'd suppect a manufacturing flaw. Good luck with repair.
