From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry 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.

There was no damage to the aircraft and no injury to the occupants. The lateral isolation mount was replaced and the aircraft was returned to service. A malfunction or defect report will follow.
