Oddo-
But what do you mean specifically?
The main hinge on the Dahon/Tern and other licensed frames, can failed without warning, and have happened.
Have handled a dozen of recall, and frame swap due to this, and there's lots of stories about it online.
The biggest issues is simply the clamp being in the centre putting a lots of stress on it than says, nearer to the front/rear.

Given that Dahon isn't the safest bike to ride, I'd steer away from spending too much money on it.
