The last 747-400 passenger plane rolled off the production line in 2005. This is either going to be a maintenance issue or the engine ingesting debris or a bird, not faulty construction. Boeing doesn’t even make the engines, it’s either GE, Pratt & Whitney, or Rolls Royce, depending on the original owner’s preference.

Looks like the last passenger 747-400 was made in 2005. I think I'm willing to give Boeing a pass on this one. I get the feeling that Boeing personnel probably haven't been anywhere near this plane in at least five, maybe ten years.
Indonesian air travel has been notorious for incidents over recent decades. Each of the country’s airlines were banned over E.U. and U.S. airspace in 2007 but were reinstated in 2016 and 2018. Since then, Garuda has joined the SkyTeam airline alliance, which includes North American carriers Delta Air Lines and Aeroméxico.
Maybe all of the passengers are whistle blowers...
