It's a Boeing 767 - which has been in production for over 40 years.

A quick search doesn't pull up any coverage of when the 767 in this incident was manufactured.

If "very recently", then Boeing looks like crap

If "longer ago", then the fault is far more likely to be with some FedEx mechanic, or subcontracted aircraft maintenance firm.

According to the comments, they took delivery of it in 2014... it's a decade old :(
