Several major news outlets reporting FAA has issued a statement directing changes to PW4000 powerplants on United's 777s, aimed at strengthening the covers [correction: cowlings]. Also directing inspections. As described in this reporting, these directions are aligned with previously announced FAA guidance or updates.

Boeing, Pratt & Whitney, and United each issued statements (reportedly) generally signaling concurrence with FAA's directives. (Not located any of the actual statements yet.)
