They've run out.

This issue is a lot more widespread than has been reported. When the cracking was first discovered, RR went around to operators to do inspections. I can't recall the exact numbers, but I believe something like half our engines had to be replaced.

With more engines cracking (worldwide), some being original while others being the replacements, RR is up to their necks in it.
