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.

What happened

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

The pilot stated that he had his mechanic, privacy data omitted service the right main landing gear by replacing the strut "o" rings just prior to the post mx flight. The main gears collapsed upon landing from that flight.

As the FAA filed it

THE PILOT STATED THAT HE HAD HIS MECHANIC, ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ SERVICE THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR BY REPLACING THE STRUT "O" RINGS JUST PRIOR TO THE POST MX FLIGHT. THE MAIN GEARS COLLAPSED UPON LANDING FROM THAT FLIGHT.
