No you would be incorrect.

Only 3 MCAS events are known to have happened, none in the US.
that may not technically correct;

Pilots were not aware of MCAS...therefore, they did not have any idea of the parameters associated with MCAS, or its initiation, or the aircraft response when MCAS initiated...
so when a report was filed, it was simply a FMS issue. They did not know what to call it, the issue was lost in the filing procedure.

In further review, the circumstances the pilots described were MCAS...

There were instances, especially AFTER MCAS was identified, where pilots encountered issues, that reports were being filed...., but again, as an FMS issue as you all are aware, there is no box on the form stating MCAS.
