Were the frames for the TTC built in a different plant than the ones for the ION?

Also, is this simply a workmanship flaw, or is it a design flaw that might persist with the ION?

Whatever the case, there is an "Off Topic" discussion about the TTC over at redflagdeals, apparently each train would take 19 weeks to repair.

1. For vehicles 502-514 I'm pretty sure the answer is yes.
2. It was a workmanship flaw from the Sahagun plant's welders (who had high employee turnover for the longest time) 
3. 4 weeks of that is shipping to/from La Pocatiere, 3 weeks is for recommissioning. The actual repair is a 12 week period. Source: https://twitter.com/BenSpurr/status/1014599713432227841
