Come on - no manufacturer's had a completely clean sheet. Boeing's legal department did everything in its power to deny there was a problem with the Parker Hannifin rudder PCU on the 737 until presented with incontrovertible proof. Douglas had Convair's rear cargo door. The autoflight display that "confused" an Air Inter into the ground in the Vosges was manufactured by Honeywell and was essentially the same as fitted to other types as well.
