Glad they found it before something happened. This could've been a major disaster.
Also first serious problem in 16 years? Either kudos in quality or at covering up!

Kobe Steel, anything you'd like to confess?

Timely detection of the flaw saved a major disaster and excellent accident free reputation of Japanese railways.

I think sight inspection can only see things on the outside. What if the crack started from inside the motor cage and the just a minor bump cracked open it?

Hmmmm.... It was the "abnormal smell" that alerted them . This train had passed the scheduled and targeted tests. So not so sure I can agree with the sentiments expressed above.
also don't believe the N-700 uses Kobe Steel steel.
