Thanks for sharing this service bulletin! I have found this happens in our ICON A5 most often during aggressive forward slips and other maneuvers which produce significant side loading.

We are ASN 00155, not featured in this particular bulletin, but nevertheless I'll ask our mechanic to check it out at the next service interval. (:
