The inspections were recommended by Boeing after a missing nut and an improperly tightened nut were discovered during routine maintenance. While the issue has been resolved, Boeing is urging operators to inspect their 737 MAX planes and report any findings. The FAA will take further action if more loose or missing hardware is found.
