According to FlightStats and FlightRadar24, the original plane was a Boeing 777-206 from 2003, which has been replaced by a 777-300 from 2023. It's en route now over the Atlantic.
So an issue caused by Boeing's recent series of quality problems seems unlikely, unless there was a dodgy spare part involved.
