Boeing resumed 737 Max deliveries after the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) lifted the type’s grounding in November 2020.
“Last night, Boeing notified us of a potential production issue with a component in the electrical power system on 17 of our most recently delivered Boeing 737 Max,” American says. “At Boeing’s direction, we have temporarily removed these 17 aircraft from service in order to complete necessary inspections and make any changes recommended or required by Boeing or the Federal Aviation Administration.”
Another 24 of American’s 737 Max “are not affected by this issue, as they were produced and delivered prior to the un-grounding”, American says. “We will continue to work with the FAA, Boeing and our union leaders and their safety teams as a thorough assessment of the issue is completed.”

Boeing disclosed on 9 April that it had recommended that 16 airlines “address a potential electrical issue in a specific group of 737 Max airplanes prior to further operations”.

Insane was the first word coming to my mind when reading this.
