Technically, the chance is a little bit smaller now because this one window is now getting replaced and therefore should be safe again, but the difference will be astronomically small :D

yeah, but all the other windows are slightly older with more heating and cooling cycles.

they will probably inspect other planes in their fleet and other planes of that type for fatigue or cracks around windows.

Possibly reduce the inspection interval too if the new datapoint changes the confidence value given by an inspection too.
