- Some older RV-10s are showing cracks in the landing gear mount, see above drawings. Van's sent out a request to inspect the parts, see SL-00033.
- If cracks are present, Vans will provide the SB-00007 document and allow purchase of the new weldment (WD-01021-L-1 WD-01021-R-1).
- The new landing gear mount needs widened holes in the main wing spar. The new part no longer has a strut coming out towards the front.
- Some fuse slow build kits delivered as recent as early 2022 had the new WD-01021-L/R-1 parts but don't have the spar changes done. These kits came with the SB-0007 service bulletin to allow making the changes.
- If your fuselage kit came with the old style, there is no need to upgrade, but you need to keep inspecting for cracks.
- True for the entire Wiki: In case of doubt, check with Vans directly, don't rely on this Wiki.
