After the screw debacle on the Boeing 737 Max – inspections point to an isolated case. More than 1,400 aircraft examined later, the manufacturer gave the all-clear.
FAA itself had announced that it was specifically keeping an eye on inspections of 737 Max aircraft. There was a risk of finding missing or loose components in the rudder control system in other aircraft. The fall of the fuselage part, which came off of an almost new 737-9 Max in mid-flight at the beginning of January, also caused a stir.
