Reuters reported that the problem can arise after a missed approach when a crew changes the planned flight path. Boeing said it alerted all 737 operators in August and reinforced the existing pilot procedures for handling the case safely.
The FAA said it is aware of the issue and will convene a Corrective Action Review Board. Boeing, airlines and regulators were still assessing how many aircraft have the affected software and whether further action is required.
