The question is did the company knowingly falsify that some corrective action had been done when it had not. I doubt it, but if proven should be difficult discussion
If however its a system error that caused the release without the work being done then the process and the approval of people involved need a review. The FAA should ensure that the system is in place. The company ensures that it is being followed on a daily basis.
And fuel leaks are not that unusual!

who else would have the intimate knowledge of the systems tho? If the aircraft crashes and it is proven it was manufacturer's fault, who pays in court? The manufacturer. So, it is an incentive for them to try to be as thorough as possible, while still pushing the envelop to stay competitive.
On the other hand the people in the govt does not care if the govt gets sued for incorrectly done certification, because the govt uses YOUR money to pay for any lawsuit and any compensatory damages will come from the taxes.

The biggest mistake is to read the title and assume that something in that article corraborates that title. Journalism is almost nonexistent nowadays, and the art of journalism was sold for the art of creating click-bait titles that lead nowhere. However they do generate clicks and ad revenue, this is the biz model we stuck with...

There is plenty to criticise Boeing for at the moment without going after spurious claims.

aterpster I understand your point but at the same time who says that the complex aircraft that Boeing and Airbus are creating are safe in the first place. As in all things as the systems become more complex the people who use and approve them need to develop and advance in their understanding of the systems and programs. This would or should be true with the individuals doing the certification of these aircraft and pilots. In my current position I can't design a process and then approve it as being acceptable so why should Manufacturers be permitted to do this.

Another wonder of the modern age brought to you by unregulated capitalism. It is universally agreed on Pprune that journalism has been corrupted by the search for profit; why should aircraft manufacturing be different?

...this doesn't help...

If Capitalism where allowed to flourish there would be 5 or 6 major manufacturers out there competing for airline’s business, one upping each other to build the best airliner.
Instead, we get a bloated, heavily regulated and protected company that is “too big to fail” and operates accordingly.
You want to blame something, blame government interventionists and their ever increasing size.
