Two more Norwegian S-92's return to base for landing

There has been a lot of "incidents" in Norway lately.
One S-92 flew 90 min. (or was it 90 miles?) on one engine with passengers onboard, another one return to shore for landing after a false engine-fire light. All within the last month!! And today, according to the newspapers, 2 more had to return for landing. One with a false engine fire light again, and one with redused power due to metal chips in the transmission.
What's the deal with all these false lights? Hopefully the pilots and operators will continue to follow their procedures even if they think it's a false indication, cause if they don't you can be certain something will go wrong and it will come back and bite them.....That's just how good old Murphy works!!
