The title of the thread was pretty much it.

The first sentence is:
BOEING ANNOUNCED THAT some of its 737 planes, including the 737 Max model that was involved in two deadly crashes, may have faulty parts on their wings.
The aircraft manufacturer said that it was working with the Federal Aviation Administration to inform airlines of a faulty part. Boeing and the FAA are advising 737 operators to inspect the slat track assemblies on certain aircraft models.

Boeing has identified 21 737 NGs that are "most likely to have the parts in question," but are advising any airlines operating the model to inspect the aircraft.
The company identified 20 737 Max airplanes that also have the potentially defective slat tracks and asked operators to inspect an additional 159 737 Max planes "to ensure a thorough assessment."
