Well if you do a search in Bike Radar for recalls http://www.bikeradar.com/search/?type=&dateTo=&dateFrom=&sortBy=relevancy&category=&searchTerm=recall&searchType=siteAdvancedSearch&searchResponseHeader=false&rows=20&searchIndex=bikeradar You find that most recalls are for problems far less serious than frame cracks.
Though if the item is sold in the USA that's where the recall tends to start, due to the more litigious nature of their society.
Here's a Giant that can develop a frame crack: http://www.bikeradar.com/mtb/news/article/giant-anthem-29er-models-recalled-28431
