rectifiable

Able to correct

Rectifiable describes something that can be corrected or set right.

A rectifiable error can be fixed; a rectifiable situation can be remedied.

The word implies the problem isn't permanent—there's a path to correction: The damage to her reputation was rectifiable, but it would take time.
