As a result of this incident, was any action taken to the other Chinooks of the same mark/standard, or have they continued flying as was?
Yes. Modifications were introduced, including a new variant DECU, whose safety critical software was also modified.

Additionally, the build standard matured to such an extent that, in about 1996, it reached the point it could be safely released to service. At this point the RTS came reasonably close to meeting the minimum mandated requirements (as opposed to the fabricated release of November 1993).
