Really?

As in, Holy friggin hell! REALLY?? They didn't expect inductive feedback from actuators? Who are the clowns designing this? That's mechatronics 101. EVERY actuator has some form of feedback. If your control system can't handle it, it'll shit the bed (as demonstrated). This certainly doesn't inspire confidence in the design and testing process as VG. Have they even heard of DFMEA? CDRs? 4-eyes principles?
