Boeing 787 Dreamliner has new problem involving titanium parts

Can you imagine if Boeing decides that all these parts will be replaced? For those who do not work on aircraft you cannot imagine how difficult that job would be. These bit parts go in some horrific to get at spaces especially once the aircraft is built!

Was reported some days back.

Boeing Warns Of Defective 787 Parts

Boeing has told authorities that some of the small titanium parts that hold the Boeing 787 together were not manufactured properly. It has also stressed that the issue presents no immediate flight safety issues. The parts were made by an Italian company and sold to Boeing by Leonardo, a major supplier to Boeing. Leonardo no longer buys parts from that company (Manufacturing Processes Specification). It does not appear any aircraft will be grounded and any fleet action will be determined after talks with the FAA.
