LH confirmed today that none of their birds are affected - the upgrades already took place 'some time ago'.

The official line:

B-747-8 engine: LH not affected from update

Our engines are not affected by the directive from the US aviation authority FAA to carry out a software update due to a possibly malfunctioning thrust reversal. This has never occurred in practice. Our eleven current aircraft of the Boeing 747-8 type have already had the latest software versions from engine manufacturer General Electric for some time. In the next week, the twelfth aircraft should arrive in Frankfurt with the D-ABYN.

The US aviation authority FAA has issued an airworthiness directive for the Boeing 747-8. Operators of the 747-8 should update the software of the engine control system by 9 April.

It looks like the late JFK-FRA that I'm flying in August has been updated to the 748 as of July 15. It's going to be pretty hard soon to fly the upper deck 744 from NYC
