What should I do

Two weeks ago I was admitted to a relatively selective university. I noted on my app that I had been conducting research and co-authored a paper that was submitted and being reviewed for publication. Well it turns out we had to put a hold on the paper recently because of some undiscovered issues with the data.

I never submitted anything in support of my research (supplement, recommendation), although I suppose I could provide that information on demand. Surely I was ‘trustworthy’ enough that they deemed me good enough for admission, so I guess my real questions are:

1. What are the chances that colleges might call and check up on this, or go back and re-verify ECs post-admission?

2. Should I proactively contact them and inform them of this, or is it way too minor/probably just asking for trouble.
