If you read the detail on Flightblogger, it details how this is a manufacturing issue and not a design problem. And it will only potentially lead to a reduced fatigue life, not the risk of dramatic or catastrophic failure. It's another example of poor programme execution from a subcontractor, not of a fundamental flaw in the design. Most importantly, this can be inspected for and addressed.
