FAA Warns of Potential Short-Circuits in Boeing 787s Due to Leaky Faucets

The FAA is proposing repeat inspections of all 787 Dreamliners in the US due to concerns that leaky bathroom faucets could allow water to seep into flight-critical electronics on the aircraft. Boeing and the FAA disagree on how widespread the issue is across currently active 787s. The FAA wants precautionary measures to apply to every Dreamliner currently in service, and there will be a 45-day comment period before the proposal can become an official FAA order.
