fault that has been acknowledged
Explanation:
You ought to have seen it before in the glossary, as this term has come up at least once before — and I would refer you to the earlier question(s) for a much fuller discussion of all the possible meanings of this term.

The trouble is, different writers use it differently, and hence the EN term needed varies quite a lot; you may need to look for other clues in your wider text in order to try and find out what your particular writer intended it to mean!

  -> Thanks, B! :-) Yes, of course; don't know why I expressed it this way round, guess I was trying to explain it; and we must be careful it doesn't translate like « défaut reconnu »
