Metal guru's, can this be welded and still be safe to use?

The flange on my one 1200 is cracked, all 6 bolt whatever have these cracks. The info I was able to get on it, was that it is not because of over tightening, in fact the bolts have never been loosened since new, still the same rotor.

Other thing is, this is where the brake rotor bolts onto, so it can't be because of the awesome brake power of the 1200, then why would it crack? is this not the kind of thing BMW should know about and at least come to the party as this item cost around R2500 new.
