I would say no. UPS bought the planes from Boeing. Boeing built them, Boeing identified the flaw, Boeing notified it's customers, and said it wasn't an issue.

Frankly I put it squarely on Boeing.





> UPS bought the planes from Boeing

No, UPS bought the plane from Thai Airways International.

> Boeing built them

No, McDonnell Douglas built the plane in question; Boeing hadn't merged with MD at the time this aircraft was manufactured.

The other elements are probably true, but this was not a Boeing aircraft.
