Boeing on Tuesday warned about a new defect on its 787 Dreamliner planes, the latest production problem to hit the manufacturer and potentially slow the pace of deliveries of the wide-body aircraft.

“We are inspecting 787s in our inventory for a nonconforming condition related to a fitting on the horizontal stabilizer,” Boeing said in a statement. “Airplanes found to have a nonconforming condition will be reworked prior to ticket and delivery.”
