My understanding is that a SB has already been issued for an inspection for cracks on these fittings.
The a/c if as reported is one of the oldest A330 flying, line number 059 delivered in March 1997.
I have been told however the SB is a one off inspection and not a repeat inspection.
In answer to the question on what would be the impact, l can not guess at that, but the authorities did not seem too worried, as it is not an AD.
