On landing, both mainwheel assemblies detached from their axles. The fasteners attaching both axles to the landing gear leg failed due to the nuts being pulled from the attachment bolts. When the axles were last refitted, the axle attachment bolts were re-used.

The aircraft manufacturer is taking safety action across all applicable aircraft maintenance manuals to include an additional prominent instruction to fit new bolts when refitting the axles.
