Received this message from operations; 'maintenance says the aircraft will be dead upon arrival...we would like you to return to [departure airport]....change aircraft and proceed [to destination].' [we] requested clearance from ATC for diversion per company request advised the flight attendants then the passengers of our return. Landed and changed aircraft.
