Airbus: Almost a third of A320neo affected by glitch in P&W engines
According to a Bloomberg report, Airbus says that 30% of its Pratt & Whitney-powered A320neo aircraft are affected by a new engine glitch. The issues supposedly are new; most recent batches of P&W engines affected. A320neo customer Indigo Airlines reported three inflight shutdowns as well as aborted takeoffs.

43 engines on 32 aircraft, they know what the problem is, and aircraft after a certain serial number aren't affected. 55 delivered engines which can't yet be installed but obviously an easier and quicker job as they're sitting in crates at the factory rather than on wings all over the world.
