Not sure about Tyler, but there was a rider on the Davitamin team who had a TIME stem failure.
I'm sure that the TIME folks will be reviewing how this stem is designed as well as the quality control present in the manufacturing process. Failures of this type are exceedingly rare, but regardless of material be it carbon fiber, ti, steel or aluminum, given human error in design or manufacturing once in awhile something breaks...
