I realize that this has been asked before, but it was a finance context. Salient facts seems very odd to me in this context. Am I over-thinking this???

It sounds to me as though "faits saillants" is the title of a section in a document or a report where the "raison" is to be noted. I'm guessing "NOK" is a typo for "NON."

Like Phil G., I'd say this is a section of the document, and as such, you probably need to give it a title that would be used normally in EN — something like my suggestion here.
BTW, 'NOK' means 'not OK' — it is the opposite of 'OK', just as in EN we sometimes use 'go / no-go'. Curiously, I've come across it more often in FR than I ever have in EN (though it certainly does exist!)
