Saw it too.
They sure are non-specific on the type of failures driving this.

Wow. The CASA paper proposes some fairly onerous restrictions on Jab engines operated in Australia (no passengers, no night flying, etc) while the problems they are alleging are sorted out. Though these wouldn't technically be binding on any US homebuilts (right?), I can see where it might bring up liability issues if there were a mishap and the plane wasn't being operated within these restrictions. Sharpie lawyers, an insurance company seeking to avoid paying a claim, etc.
I hope this is all resolved soon.
