Is this exceptional news?

I am curious how often this happens generally

I’ve been told to consider how issues evolve after they stop being reported, and so I am skeptical whether this is exceptional at all because aircraft groundings are only in the public interest because of the recent worldwide coordinated grounding

Not very.

This is pretty much the same as a standard car recall, just with more enforcement teeth. FAA says you can't fly until you replace a part that had a manufacturing defect. Replace it and you're good.

I'm also skeptical, if I was Boing I would be surfacing every regular FAA technical directive to the public.
