07:29 AM EDT, 06/18/2024 (MT Newswires) -- Boeing ( BA ) quality inspector Sam Mohawk has accused the company of mishandling and losing track of hundreds of faulty parts, some potentially installed on new 737 Max planes, Bloomberg reported on Tuesday.

Detailed in a June 11 complaint to Occupational Safety and Health Administration and disclosed by a US Senate subcommittee, Mohawk's claims suggest Boeing ( BA ) lost as many as 400 faulty 737 Max aircraft parts and deleted records for many of those from an internal cataloging system, Bloomberg said.

The report added that Mohawk alleged that Boeing ( BA ) intentionally hid improperly stored non-conforming parts -- including large components such as rudders and flaps -- ahead of an on-site inspection by the US aviation agency.

Mohawk's complaint, released by the Senate's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations on the same day that it plans to hear testimony from Boeing ( BA ) CEO Dave Calhoun, said that following the 737 Max grounding, overwhelming numbers of faulty parts led superiors to cancel records of non-conforming parts, adding that when he raised concerns through Boeing's ( BA ) internal reporting program "Speak Up," they were eventually routed to the same managers he complained about, Bloomberg reported.

Boeing ( BA ) said it's reviewing the claims after receiving the document late on Monday, according to the report.

Boeing ( BA ) has not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
