There {might be/seems eo be} a problem with the binding of the control cables.

The English sentence is very hard to understand, because the word "binding" has different meanings. One of the meanings is to stop something from moving (лишать подвижности; заедание). I don't know how airplane cables work, so I'm not sure if this is the correct definition of "binding" for your sentence. But if my guess is right, the sentence could mean that the reason for the system failure was that the cables could not move. Perhaps they got stuck, or got tangled, and that is the reason they couldn't move properly.
