The issue is apparently related to the forging used for the Safran LPT supplied by a particular vendor. Seems like a precautionary action by Safran. That LPT disc is likely a fracture critical part, so the forging used should have full traceability. Odd that this issue was not found during manufacture of the LPT given the rigorous QA procedures normally used with fracture critical components.
