Narrative:
19 ACARS data interruptions with com 1 from 1;000 ft AGL on landing to 3 min after clearing the runway. This is a new aircraft. This data dump needs to be turned off in flight and on the ground when engines are running until this is fixed. There will be a serious communication issue with the tower.
