Probable cause

Inadequate quality control following overhaul of the high-pressure compressor (HPC) impeller by other maintenance personnel that resulted in a machining groove on the aft face of the HPC impeller being undetected, which resulted in a fatigue fracture and an uncontained separation of the HPC impeller from the engine during the takeoff roll/run, and the pilot rejecting the takeoff.
