All WoW switches were OK, there was crosswind and the a/c had a left bank. If not both WoW signal activated, no automatic spoiler deployment. Crew didn't deploy them manually (!). Without spoilers, not automatic brakes and not unlock of thrust reversal... If I understood, the only fault of a/c was lack of mechanical lock at the thrust levers, that allowed PIC to move lever "in one movement" (without waiting for green lights) to reversal position.

For me, it is little surprised, that MAK spoke only about mechanical fault and not about human factor (speed landing, lack of spoilers manually, incorrect work with thrust levers, not TOGA etc.)
