It may have been me! When I painted my NLG fork prior to fitting it, the paint showed up a very small crack as detailed in the SB.
I spoke to Van's, they checked their stock and found a couple of similarly affected ones and issued the SB (ands sent me a good one!).
It sounds as though it was a small batch with a manufacturing defect rather than an in service problem.
Standard exemplary action by Van's - something that many manufacturers of certified aircraft should take note of...!
