The crew requested an extended downwind to complete checklists, then positioned for an approach to runway 28L and landed at a higher speed than normal. Emergency services checked the aircraft before the aircraft taxied to the apron.

A passenger reported they were told the aircraft needed to do a high speed landing due to flaps problems.
