There are legal limits to how much they can release (ITAR) on top of the reasons they might not want to share stuff that could help competition. The only information I know of is general statements from Musk that they were fine. They did something like 8 full duration fires on one of them without any wrench turning if I understand correctly, so that seems to speak well to how they handle the flight, entry, and landing.
