wheel problems

Is this the same problem that SAS had with there Q400s I dont think Flybe have ever had a wheel problem with the Q4 landing at Ronalsway:

3 March 2011

A Flybe plane was forced to make an emergency landing at Exeter Airport after a wheel fell off. The Flybe Bombardier Q400 took off from Exeter International Airport at 1225 GMT with 39 passengers and four crew on board.

A wheel detached shortly after take-off, forcing the plane to circle for about 90 minutes before landing.The UK Air Accidents Investigation Branch is investigating.
