Attempt to reproduce it. Write out the steps to reproduce. Friendly devs fix it. Test it. Support inform everyone who experienced it.

panic…
Read the customer ticket, and Inform the parties that need to know soonest.
Don’t : Spend loads of time trying to repro the problem, you don’t own the defect, the team does.
