Boeing will have to conduct additional analysis of the fuselage in order to address new concerns of the Federal Aviation Administration, according to statements from the regulator and the company. “In reviewing certification records, Boeing discovered an analysis error by our supplier related to the 787 forward pressure bulkhead,” said the company, referring to the portion of a plane at its nose that maintains the pressurized conditions in the cabin.
It was able to deliver much of that backlog once it was given clearance to resume deliveries, as it delivered 34 Dreamliners between August of last year and January of this year. Boeing plans to maintain assembly of the planes once again during this current delivery halt. “There is no immediate safety of flight concern for the in-service fleet,” Boeing’s statement said. “Production continues and this is not expected to increase airplane rework.

Shouldn't be a problem to come up with some excuses or to blame it on a few airlines and their pilots.
So, what happens to the customers who have already received the 787s that are no doubt riddled with malfunctions?
This is due to issues related to its carbon composite structure, particularly around the jet's fuselage. The company discovered that the affected planes do not meet required engineering standards, and it has paused deliveries while it works to address the issue.
Probably because it's named after something from the 1950's.
