Are the numbers being reported to Vans and will Vans report the numbers found?

But that's probably a pretty high percentage of "cracks found" because its more
likely that someone finding a crack would report it to Van's than someone not
finding a crack. 10% seems crazy high especially considering that it took this
long to "discover".
Seems like everyone should report their findings to Van's good or bad so that their
stats are realistic.
Just send them to "support@vansaircraft". Included my N number and Serial number.

According to those on the RV-List, none. I would like Van's to publish bet
ter info on this issue and report under what conditions these problems seem
to manifest themselves.
