The safety reviews were ordered in November 2018 [1]. The 737 MAX groundings started in March 2019 [2].
The 737 MAX fiasco is irrelevant to this series of safety reviews, but as the OP article states, Boeing may be subject to future reviews triggered by its own actions.

- toomuchtodo 7y agoThat's why I said, "in the future". Apologies if my thesis wasn't clear.
- CharlesColeman 7y agoSorry, I missed that. My point stands though: I don't think the 737 MAX fiasco sheds much light on NASA's decision-making in this case.
