UPDATE: As of a couple of weeks ago, the issue seemed to have been isolated to an oil leak.
EARLIER POST: We've heard the rumor repeatedly, but eventually it will have to pan out. There are a few tidbits about the PW 1500G ground test failure in the second link, but I have still not seen anything substantive about the nature of the engine failure. Perhaps some of you have heard more?
