I don't think that's quite true. There's been a large swathe of other problems [0] involved in the production.
Broken or damaged parts, engine shutdowns and faulty hydraulics are just some of the concerns that Boeing seemed to have glossed over.
There has to be a reason that Boeing was willing to go so far as halt production [1] to reassess the plane, and that won't be just one flaw.

- linuxftw 7y agoThey're halting production because they can't deliver the planes. They don't have any internal controls to halt production for safety reasons, that much should be evident by now.
