On 21 March 2009 a Marine Corps MV-22 crew in Iraq reported strange noises just after landing. During an inspection it was determined the sounds came from several bolts which were rattling around loose inside an engine nacelle. The bolts are critical components that belong to the tiltrotor's swashplate assembly. The temporary grounding order effects both the Marine MV-22 and US Air Force CV-22 Osprey fleets.

Check out this V-22 video including footage from combat operations in Iraq:
