It's not exactly counterfeit parts. It's that the paperwork for the titanium supplied wasn't right. So I guess it could be ok titanium with just bad paperwork rather than bad titanium. Also I guess it costs a lot to change.

IIUC, the paperwork is a major part of the part.
Yes, but if the paperwork is good, you don't have to replace a ton of parts, so investigating that first seems prudent.
If the material was good, they would not need to make fake documents, right? Either it is low quality, or it is high quality, but from Russia.
