As farvas I remember the main gear Doors a fixed to the landing gear and does not have a separate actuator. It is secured to the airframe with pianohinges. If one piano hinge fails the door is free to fall outward and I’m sure it will be ripped completely of if the happens.
As others have mentioned it damaged some non structural composite panels.
