I wouldn't call it an issue with the engine driveshaft. More that the drain line went to the deck rather than to the overboard drain so it was making a mess!

The drain line and the landing gear have both been taken care of with Tech Bulletins.

They both came out last month. Takes quite a while to get new parts made, tested and put into production.

For the Landing Gear, the Bulletin is Mandatory, so owners get all the parts for free. Standard practice with Agusta (or whatever they're called now). No matter the age of the helicopter, if a Bulletin is Mandatory, parts are free.

More importantly, have they managed to speed it up? I hear it is a bit slow.
