The U.S. military discovered a problem with the ejection seats used across its F-35 Joint Strike Fighter fleet in April, but waited three months to ground those aircraft flown by the Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps to fully investigate the issue

......

Roberts said the problem was unique to a particular cartridge number and to the F-35

......

“Outside the F-35, not a single anomaly has been discovered worldwide as a result of the forensic investigation which continues at pace.”
