Etihad's A340-500 Fleet Grounded

Latest rumour to be confirmed....
Etihad's A340-500 Fleet has been grounded. Apparently some sharp eyed maintainer has noted that an AD that was required before the aircraft could be released to the line has "never" been performed.

The A340-500's have been flying pax illegally for the last two years.

I wonder what the AD was and how it impacted safety. Hopefully, heads will roll.
