At least you have the skills, know how, and fixed it properly.
Like you, I feel if it has bolt holes to hold it, there should be a bolt torqued in each one, and of a proper grade.
Their "never had a problem" may bite them in the butt one day.
IMO, that stuff shows poor quality workmanship on their part.
To let it get out the door like that, disgusting!
I was taught young: The quality of your work, is a direct reflection of your craftsmanship!
Experiences of my own, similar to yours here, is what led me to fixing most things myself, and generally over engineering the fix!
Makes you mad sometimes.
