Most airliner landing gear are manufactured by Safran. Older gear may bear the manufacturer name “Messier-Dowty” or “Messier-Bugatti-Dowty” which are now all part of the Safran group.

Can someone else confirm - everything I have seen indicates a TIRE fell off not a wheel. That would also affect further decision making.

I did work for a landing gear manufacturer in the 90s, that company changed names many times over the decades that is now part of Collin’s Aerospace. My time there was my first project management unsupervised early in my former career. I did work on the overhead conveyors and paint and oven systems, also a first in using 3D design software at that time which was fun

Yes, with mergers and acquisitions it can be hard to keep straight who is whom. I was trying to obtain a component maintenance manual for a CRJ-200 pilot seat. It was originally manufactured by Goodrich, which merged with BE Aerospace, which merged with Collins Aerospace who now provide parts support.

Yes it was Goodrich during my time, an excellent facility I will say I enjoyed my time with them very much

My guess is a bearing failure.  Causes might be:

worn beyond service limit

lubrication failure

bearing manufacture off-spec

bearing not properly installed in operator's wheel and tire shop

bearing seal failure allowing water/foreign object

failure to apply specified pre-load or running load during wheel installation.
