If I remember this issue correctly, JE determined that they were using wrist pins that were flexing (too thin?) and that flexing and extended use fatigue caused the piston failure.
They have responded with piston updates to address the failure but I believe the "real" solution was a better wrist pin and educating customers as too the life expectancy of any racing component.
