If there's a 990 issue, it is competely unrelated to the problem that the 970 has had - the two platforms are completely independent products.

Have you contact Outlaw about this? If not, I'm afraid they may be a little hectic this week (much of their manpower is off on the west coast for the HE show), but it would be worthwhile to touch base with them on it - this is not an issue that I've heard about previously.
