I'm with you on microcracking. The best way to confirm this is through sectioning of the affected capacitors. You're fortunate to be seeing these failures showing-up early in your product life. Of times these failures don't appear for years.

I would look at your de-paneling process. How are you cutting the boards? This could be inducing mechanical stress on the component; especially if the part is close to the edge of the pcb and perpendicular to it.

Reflow soldering is the primary method for interconnecting surface mount technology (SMT) applications. Successful implementation of this process depends on whether a low defect rate can be achieved. In general, defects often can be attributed to causes rooted in all three aspects, including materials, processes, and designs. Troubleshooting of reflow soldering requires identification and elimination of root causes. Where correcting these causes may be beyond the reach of manufacturers, further optimizing the other relevant factors becomes the next best option in order to minimize the defect rate.

Many printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) have relays that are soldered to the PCB. If such an electromechanical component fails, it can cause the whole device to fail, just like any other electronic component. The spectrum of root causes that lead to an increased contact resistance or a complete contact failure is totally different from what usually occurs in the electronics domain. This article provides a detailed analysis of these failures and the corresponding root causes, many of them self-centering.
