Facing oversight questions, FAA approves fix for electrical hazard in 737 Max jets

The hazard dates to a manufacturing change in early 2019, according to an FAA safety order. Boeing found “a potential weakening of bonds associated with electrical grounding” that could affect the main instrument panel, a standby power unit and a key circuit breaker panel, the agency said. The discovery was made in a new plane that had yet to be delivered, and airlines have not reported experiencing issues.
