It will be interesting to find out what the problem is. I wonder why that information has not been released.

Something to do with props falling off the particular engine they use.

I looked a number of Sirrus out-landings and no mention of propeller , only failed engines .

"call for a specific inspection of the crankshaft counterweight retaining ring within 5 hours for those new or rebuilt engines with less than 200 hours in operation since installation"

Yes.. Would expect somthing to do with the crankshaft resulting in vibration (and ultimate failure), but the also have shaken their props off:
