This whole thing reminds me of transit equipment debacles in NYC in late 70s/early 80s.

First the structural defects found in the R-46 cars requiring old car stock (R-16!) to be pressed into service.

Then the debacle with the (GM?) 870 series of busses, where in one celebrated case, the engine fell off its chassis onto the street, while the bus was in service. All were pulled from service and the MTA literally had to go down to Washington DC and drive up with 100+ out of service busses to replace them. (Yes, actually rode them in Manhattan)
