Carter Bankshares is a small US regional bank whose reported quality is distorted by a single very large non-accrual lending relationship that has dominated its credit picture and earnings for several periods. That concentration is a specific, nameable credit issue rather than an information gap. No failure or restatement is known, so this is a flag rather than a removal.
