Shock mount failure

My front left shock mount broke just before the Q rally in 08. CCW in Riverside
fixed mine shortly after the Q rally. On my coach the shock mount ripped out a
chunk of metal on the frame. A piece of steel about 1/2" x 8" x 6" was welded
onto my frame. A hole was drilled in it to accommodate the brake air line. The
original shock mount with it's three gussets were removed from the broken out
piece. That original shock mount was then welded back onto the 1/2" plate
mentioned above.

The welds made during the repair were VERY thorough. There was an indication
that the original BB welds may not have been as through as they could have been.
(One side of one of the gussets had not been welded onto the frame.) That
having been said this could not be the reason for the failure. After all the
frame on my coach had a section ripped out of it. The shock mount itself did
not fail.

A far more interesting question is: What causes the failures on the shock
mounts?
