SSC Case Study Milestone 3

I am a member of a four-person, self-managing team at SSC who is working on a project called APS. One of the core modules that was developed by an externally contracted company has been discovered to have major bugs which will cause delays. Should I or should I not report the conflict to the VP who has been known to lay off workers due to delays?
