Today, the ATSB issued a safety recommendation about potential engine problems in some Airbus A380 aircraft.
It said there was a "potential manufacturing defect with an oil tube connection to the high-pressure (HP)/intermediate-pressure (IP) bearing structure" of the Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engines installed in some A380s.
The statement said the defect "could lead to fatigue cracking, oil leakage and potential engine failure from an oil fire within the HP/IP bearing buffer space."
