The Boeing 737 MAX aircraft is displayed at the Farnborough International Airshow, in Farnborough, Britain, July 20, 2022.
Boeing is urging airlines to inspect 737 Max planes to look for a "possible loose bolt" in the rudder control system, the latest quality issue to affect the manufacturer's bestselling jetliner.
The inspections will take about two hours per plane, and all new 737 Maxes will undergo the check before they're handed over to customers, Boeing said.
"Out of an abundance of caution, we are recommending operators inspect their 737 MAX airplanes and inform us of any findings.
A spokeswoman for United Airlines , one of the biggest 737 Max customers, said the carrier doesn't expect any impact to its operations as a result of the issue.
