(US) Navy Times is reporting problems there as well
https://www.navytimes.com/news/your-...0-e5794efcfa7d

The issue involves cartridge actuated devices, or CADs, which deploy a parachute when aviators pull their ejection handle.

All told, the issue was found in the F/A-18B/C/D Hornet, F/A-18E/F Super Hornet and the E/A-18G Growler, as well as the T-45 Goshawk and F-5 Tiger II training aircraft.
