The company informed the FAA last month that it is looking into whether two sections of wiring that control the tail of the plane are too close together and could cause a short circuit — and potentially a crash, if pilots did not react appropriately
I'm not convinced that Boeing only recently realized this. I suspect, and it's just a hunch on my part, that they've known about this for quite a while and it's only with the switch to the new CEO that they decided to bring it up with the FAA.
