Summary
Boeing is urging airlines to inspect their 737 Max planes for a possible loose bolt in the rudder control system. This is the latest quality issue to affect the company's best-selling jetliner. Inspections will take about two hours per plane, and all new 737 Maxes will undergo checks before being handed over to customers. The issue has been remedied on the specific airplane mentioned, but Boeing is recommending inspections as a precautionary measure. Airlines such as Alaska Airlines, United Airlines, and American Airlines do not expect any operational impact as a result of these inspections.
