TT,

The problem as I understand it is that the retrofit program for the rudder servo will take some years to ensure that all of the worlds 737's in service are dealt with.

In the meantime 10 knots have been added to flap speeds in the hope that that will help in controlling a rudder hard over.

It will still be a white knuckle ride for any crew having to deal with one.
