never heard of the top ones breaking...but I have heard of the rear one breaking at the chain tensioner.

Rural King had a baja with the rear one broken, the manager told me they over tightened it on assembly. Shocked

Did the metal ears break off the swing arm assembly or did the the casted ears break off the engine casing? If it is the swing arm, I suspect fault factory welds that can be fixed locally by you or a shop. If the casing cracked, it was either dropped prior to being assembled or was a poor cast. This would require serious engine disassembly to replace the case.
