This is not new. We discussed this back in October when it first came out.

Subject: Europa-List: New AD on Rotax with Evans NPG+
This just in:
A mandatory AD for Stemme motorgliders with Rotax engines
The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical Agent for
the Member States of the European Community, has issued AD No.: 2006-0311-E,
dated October 11, 2006 (referred to after this as "the MCAI''), to correct
an unsafe condition for the specified products. The MCAI states that:
During certification works it was found that the cooling liquid EVANS NPG+
is flammable. The liquid cooling circuit of the Stemme S10-VT is not
designed to be filled with a flammable liquid without prior modifications.
For that reason, this Emergency AD requires the replacement of the EVANS
NPG+ cooling liquid. In addition, the operation limit of the cylinder head
temperature must be temporary changed to 120[deg]C/248[deg]F.
