I know someone who failed a checkride. The failure doesn't show up when he pulled his records from the FAA. What does show up is a checked box on the subsequent checkride where he acknowledged that he had failed a checkride. He chooses to be honest about it because the failure was a judgement call thing, and he passed the same cheride in the same airplane later that same day.
