The Federal Aviation Administration has ordered inspections of hundreds of Boeing 737 Max aircraft to detect potential cracks in the fuselage. This directive applies to certain models of the Boeing 737 Max, including the Max 8, Max 9, and Max 8-200. Cracks were found in some aircraft near the forward service door and galley area.

The FAA warns that undetected damage could compromise the structural integrity of the aircraft. Further details on the inspection requirements and affected aircraft are available from the source. Local residents can find more information on the FAA's directive through KVIA ABC-7 or the FAA's official channels.
