On a reusable vehicle, quality control problems like this show up during
initial test flights. I believe that Boeing generally has at least one test
flight of every airliner that rolls off its production lines. They don't
just hand the thing over to the customer without testing it first.

Generally the manufacturer performs a test flight - and then the buyer
performs an inspection flight.
