The entry guide kit has been further investigated and tested by the failure analysis engineer (advanced failure analysis).The entry guide was broken at the weld and does not appear to be missing any pieces.A visual inspection did not find any obvious physical damage to the exterior of the accessory.There were no signs of impact or excessive force applied to the accessory, including cracks, dents, or abrasions.Inspection of the weld site appeared to show a portion where the accessory was not fully welded, which could lead to the two pieces of the entry guide to separate.
