These days engines are usually leased separately from their planes and the leasing company provides maintenance, repair, and overhaul with their own MRO provider or a third party of their choice. Boeing wouldn't be involved.
I don't think that's true. As I understand it, jet engines are manufactured, sold, and maintained separately from the airframe. They're interchangeable components, and often get swapped out when they need maintenance.

To be fair, that's an engine problem and they aren't made by Boeing.
Knowing Boeing, they probably installed them wrong, broke them, left a tool inside, etc.

The scarier trend is airlines shopping around for the cheapest MRO in South America.
That's not really a funny or helpful comment generally, but especially not since the plane in question (C-FIUV) is over 16 years old...
Kinda weird that it took 30 years for someone to notice the engine was backwards, no?
Boeing contracts them, so Boeing is ultimately responsible, of course.
