I think @gsengle is right, regardless of the cause the overall perception is going to be stigmatized from this...
Some here seem to have forgotten that Cirrus lost its first production SR20 and the chief test pilot of the SR20 program, Major Scott Anderson, when an aileron jammed. It was not fitted with the CAPS parachute. Nevertheless Cirrus customers starting taking delivery of their planes later that same year.
No telling how this will impact Icon in the longer run, but clearly it is not impossible for a company to recover from such an event.
