I called TLG when the damper on my new 8446 broke a week after assembly.
(This is about 14 days ago) I phoned TLG, and as I recall, the helpdesk
woman said that the problem was fixed in later production shipments (meaning
the damper part _was_ redesigned after the weakness became known).
I mentioned the fear of possibly discovering two broken dampers on my 8448,
and she suggested sending me three new dampers instead of one.
Upon recieving the new dampers the next day, I visually checked for
differences, but noticed none. (I haven't dared to split up a new and an old
damper to compare insides).
To summarize : Yes, to my knowledge, TLG are now sending out redesigned
replacement air dampers.

| 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. (...) (25 years ago, 14-Nov-99, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.loc.uk)
