I've been known to replace components (usually relays) on boards with more durable ones. Most of the time for a relay, it'll need to be installed somewhere not on the board.
I really don't know why manufacturers use components they know are marginal.

P.S. I also have just trashed the original board and built my own. Sometimes it's worth it, sometimes not.
