The latest quality issue is due to improperly shaped holes in the aft pressure bulkhead of some planes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bulkhead is a structure that seals off the rear of the pressurized cabin. The parts in question were made by Spirit, whose shares hit an over two-and-a-half year low of $20.09.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a

will be impacted as Spirit uses multiple suppliers for the aft pressure bulkhead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Boeing believes the defect is limited to a portion of its bestselling MAX 8 model, but was evaluating if older-model 737 Next Generation jets have also been impacted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It is early days on both the near and long-term financial impacts of the issue, but it appears the fix is likely to take several weeks for completed aircraft,&#8221; Citi analyst Jason Gursky said in a note.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The defect also adds more pressure on Spirit after it took a financial hit from a another quality issue and reported bleak results due to a worker strike earlier this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Boeing&#8217;s shares were trading at $219.50 compared with Wall Street&#8217;s median price target of $254.70.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The defect also adds more pressure on Spirit after it took a financial hit from a another quality issue and reported bleak results due to a worker strike earlier this
