A passenger booked onto the return flight DE-2415 reported on Jun 30th 2016 that the captain announced in the waiting lounge, that the aircraft had shown a 2 degrees uncommanded roll during the approach to Halifax, the cause of which could not be determined.

The occurrence aircraft remained on the ground for 3 days, then departed as flight DE-2415 on Jul 1st 2016 and resumed service. The aircraft suffered a hydraulic failure 2 days later, see Incident: Condor B763 near Chania on Jul 3rd 2016, hydraulic failure.
