I have a theory: this has something to do with Air France issuing the statement in French and its conversion to English.

From MSNBC:
In a statement Wednesday, Air France said the “reverse thruster” of the failed engine was inoperative on its return from New York on July 24. Such thrusters are used to slow the plane upon landing.
