These engines are known to be installed on, but not limited to, the 

following aircraft types:

Reason: 

Due to high fuel pressure, caused by exceeding pressure in front of the

cases a deviation in the fuel supply could occur. This can result in 

exceeding of the fuel pressure and might cause engine malfunction 

and/or massive fuel leakage.

personal injuries or death.
