The grounding is for 6000 of 11000 A320 series. I believe it's some combination of software and hardware configuration that is at risk.

It depends on whether the ELAC is an LRU (line-replaceable unit, i.e. a box with ports that can be swapped at an airport) and whether a software update can be uploaded into a unit that is installed (not all aircraft have a "firmware update via cable or floppy", so to speak)
Thank you; that makes sense. I had the impression it was the entire fleet.
