FAA Orders Max 737 Inspections | Detroit News

The FAA has ordered inspections for over 400 U.S. Boeing 737 Max planes — including Max 8, Max 9, and 737-8200 models — after discovering door reinforcement cracks in older Boeing jets. Though no such cracks have been found on the Max fleet yet, the FAA’s proactive move targets similar design elements vulnerable to wear from repeated takeoffs and landings. Boeing extended the inspection protocol this year due to shared structural features, and airlines like Southwest and United are already planning compliance without expected disruptions, emphasizing ongoing safety efforts in air travel.
