Does it happen because of cold weather? I don't know much about cars so my bad if it's a stupid question

It wasn't super cold when this one failed, single digits, but winter is the only time I see them explode, so yes, temperature has got to be playing a part.

Not a dumb question at all. I was wondering the same thing.....and I spent two years of my life in school to be a mechanic.

Pieces of steel oil pump vanes.
We usually see 3 or 4 explode every winter.

I've been surprised at just how many things in this modern day and age are not heat treated properly after hardening the metal. Amazes me that something so simple can get lost in the manufacturing process and not just the automotive industry either.
Oh well, job security for you I guess.
