The problems aren't with the airframe per se, it's with the systems integration.
The ITAS just won't work properly (though Kaman claims it's all fixed now); Litton knew this was going to be a high risk project years ago, and opted (IIRC) to accept a penalty & pull out rather than face continuing problems with the ITAS.
