Scott makes a good point, however many of these are failing with very few hours on them. That means a brand new plane with a pilot that is perhaps very unfamiliar could be at moderate risk. With so many failing, has there been any findings as to why? I've read memory issues...does that mean a bad batch, bad assembly or bad design? Is this being handled by waiting for units to fail or is there some sort of service bulletin or recall? If it's a bad batch of something, can't it be narrowed down to units purchased within set dates or a series of serial numbers?
I don't know that it's "many" failures. And if it's due to a memory chip failure, then that has to be traced back to the manufacturer of the chip (identifying whether a certain die lot has a higher-than-normal failure rate and why, etc.).
I received my upgraded SV touchscreen and it had serial number 12000-something. That's a lot of units sold, for GA, so a handful of failures is probably not "many", but certainly worth Dynon investigating root cause.
FWIW, I've had the following failures of equipment, all from different manufacturers, within the first 200 hours (and all repaired or replaced at no charge by the vendor):
SV1000 (they had a batch with boards that were not cleaned properly during manufacture by the supplier; R&R'd as part of a SB in less than a week)
GNS-430W - GPS card failed
XPDR (Dynon rebranded Trig) - replaced at no charge, has worked flawlessly since
Alternator (VR failed in such a weird way that it was *always on*, and I only found it because my lighted switch is lit iff the alternator is on...so it was lit even when in the Off position)
None of these were due to installation or wiring errors...they were ALL defects in the product. Infant mortality? Perhaps. But it does point out the need for vigilance, redundancy and fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants ability (as well as knowing your systems and always leaving yourself an "out").
