I have seen it on other vehicles but so far none on these trucks. My $.02 is that you'll see it on vehicles where the hinges never got greased or they had damaged dins/bushing and folks just kept forcing them open and close and it will cause stress cracks around the door hinge mounts. That is the weaker of the two mount areas.
