Exploding C30S engines in 76A models

Rumor has it there have been several #3 Power Turbine Wheels failing catastrophically on S76As (and possibly other A/C types?). A new idling restriction has been placed on the engines (no steady state 72%-90.5%N2)

What is going on? What has changed with these engines?
