They had a crack below the bedroom wall corner.
Clearly you can see the wall frame was NOT welded all the way around the joint, it was only tack welded.
I'm thinking, if you want to solve the problem of "Wall flex" they need robot welders to Weld ALL the jointS ALL the way around.
Daryles - the photo you posted from 2019 - is that pic showing the framing within the wall before fiberglass sheet bonding takes place?

Also - are the bonded wall units attached to the frame using bolts or welds?

Seems to me - if the weld breaks occur within the bonded walls then they would revise welding specs/process in the wall frame plant.
If the issue comes from the way the walls are attached to the frame then they should address the connection in the final assembly plant.

All of this frame-flex stuff must not be costing them enough money to cause them to re-engineer or modify manufacturing practices to minimize or stop the issue.
