Elevon.

For delta-wing vehicles, the ailerons (flaps on an airplane wing) and the elevators (flaps on the horizontal tail) are all on the trailing edge of the wing.

Elevon troubles could also result from a thermal failure -- burning wires, perhaps -- or there may have been a hardware failure in the elevon actuators.
