Breaking tie rods

I have seen 2 tie rods snapped in half in the last year on a 97 & 99 Expedition. This has caught my attention since I drive a 98. Does anyone know of a recall or similar problems? My freind was backing up at the time and when it broke the wheels locked up. I other guy I was following was going down the road at approx. 25mph hit some train tracks,and it looked like his wheel on one side was falling off. I pulled over behind him to tell him what I had seen. He was able to drive home I helped him back into his driveway by kicking his wheel straight while he backed up...

I've never seen a tie rod end that was in good shape break.
Old worn out ones yes but not good ones.
No recalls on them that I know of.

Both of the rods were broken at the straight part of the rod ,not at a wornout knuckle
