SEVERE RIGHT WING VIBRATION ON DESCENT. EMERGENCY LANDING AT AIRPORT. FOUND RIGHT TRIM TAB RETAINER PIN MISSING.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
