While this is an important issue that is being being dealt with through the maintenance system, the media seems to be a bit over the top on this.
Afterall an issue was detected before it was a major issue, the maker sends out and advisory to operators - they check their aircraft and find issues at the revised predicted cycles and they are pulled out of service to be fixed and the maintenance/inspection routines will be amended to fix/detect this much earlier.
Seems all very normal to me - I would be more concerned if nothing was being done.
