If this is a modified engine as somebody said, it’s really bad news for operators with these engines.
Add the fact that engine pairs have about the same number of hours and I for one would be reluctant to go on an aircraft with these engines.
The modifications are about fanblades/turbine blades?
The engine pairs don't necessarily have the same hours. There's currently a restriction on fitting two engines (of the type affected by the known problems) with more than a certain number of cycles on the same aircraft. This is for exactly the reason you are concerned about.
