Look at these welds

In my opinion as a retired certified welder, I would had ground out the weld and re welded the brackets. In the first pic you can see a crack and second pic ,you have a weld that is not fully welded. Weld do fail after years of use. You had the housing out,cleaned and ready to fix. As you said it would only take a few minutes. Just my 2 cents worth.

Having done quite a bit of soldering in my younger days, a couple of them look like what we called "cold" joints. Very poor adhesion where the weld doesn't melt into the metal. We wanted to see a smooth flow onto the metal.
This fault would happen when one metal wasn't brought up to the proper temp as the other. Thus, a cold solder (weld) joint.
