UA232 comes to mind
It may come to mind, but the fan disk supplier (GE) had identified geriatric problems with the CF6 fan disk many months before UA232, and had promulgated extensive special inspection procedures to ensure continued safe operation of this 25-year-old engine.

The operator failed in implementing said inspections; they had neither adequate equipment nor sufficient trained staff to fully carry out the inspections.
