I opened the wing doors on my super car today only to find that one air
damper had shattered internally and would not operate.

I inspected the other one and those on 8446 and 8447 and found they too were
broken, but not to the point of not working. All 3 models had remained in a
made-up state since new in August.

I know this is a common problem, so a question to those of you that have
also suffered and sent them back. Are LEGO sending out redesigned
replacements or the same part?
