I think it's a bit harsh to say Vans can't be trusted. It's obvious a lot of people still trust them. The problems appear to stem from inadequate QC, and inadequate specifications to suppliers.
As Boeing found out, when you outsource manufacturing, you must have intensive QC and strict specifications, that cover every foreseeable angle.
In Vans case, it appears that they didn't consider that the laser-cut parts supplier would "make adjustments" to cutting processes, that caused the parts problems.
With all laser or plasma cutting procedures, the cut is initiated away from the desired finished cut alignment. The cut is initiated either in the inside of the portion to be cut out, or outside the cut-out area.
Ideally, the cut initiation is carried out inside the cut-out area and the cutter then moves to the finished outline and completes the cut, moving constantly to avoid blowouts or excessive heat buildup, if that is an important factor.
When the cut is initiated, there's always a small blowout from the heat generated at the start point, that enables the cutter to cut right through the material.
But the laser cutter employed, apparently started out doing their cuts from the inside - and then, without consultation, moved the start point for the cuts to the finished cut line - obviously to improve productivity.
This change to edge initiation of cutting caused a tiny blowout and excessive heat buildup on the finished edge, which led to small crack initiation when the plate was dimpled.
Van's have done the right thing, examined the problem and released the details of their examinations. The concern is that any small cracks caused by the undesirable cutting process might propagate when the aircraft is in use.
Van's have studied the potential for the tiny cracks to propagate, and have determined that it's not a safety concern for a large percentage of the parts. But where there is a safety concern, Van's have undertaken to replace those parts.
Boeing's problems developed from an attitude that safety took second place to profits. They suppressed and intimidated whistleblowers within their manufacturing operations, and lied to the FAA.
Boeing assumed more power over safety issues than they should have been allowed, and this was all to do with Boeings overbearing power over FAA employees charged with overseeing Boeing safety issues.
So I don't think it's fair to align Van's with Boeing, as Van's have shown they didn't put profits over safety, and their problems were more likely related to an inadequate number of employees engaged in ensuring QC processes were watertight.
