The FAA AD #: 2007-17-05 shows that this is not entirely new.
Whatever history there is still needs careful attention. I am reminded of a story that circulated in defence quality assurance circles in the 1980s. Whether it is true or folk-legend BS I do not know. A new aircraft type suffered bearing failures. One of the factors that may have seemed completely irrelevant at first was that the government, MoD, makers and the press had all been making a fuss about how wonderful this aircraft was. It turned out that the guy with the grease gun had been listening to this and because it was such a great aircraft and he was really excited to be working on it, it got an extra squirt of grease just to make sure. Oops.
