The amazing thing is that the Airbus VP of Sales told a group of Industry experts 8 weeks ago (HeliOffshore Conference) that the cause was shipping damage to the gearbox. He was so certain that he advocated a sensor in shipping containers that could tell of shipping abuse.
So, perhaps, Sasless, we have THREE different causes, and we put them in a hat and select the agreed upon one.
I choose what's behind door #4, unknown.
