Unsafe Condition

Chafing of the cable/wire bundles against the fuel line, which could result in arcing and a consequent fire or explosion.

AI-generated summary from the source AD text. Verify against the official source before acting.

Required Actions

Conduct repetitive general visual inspections to detect chafing or arcing damage to the cable and fuel tube assemblies on the right hand side of each engine. Replace components with new ones if necessary. An optional modification is available to reroute the existing wire harness to the opposite side of the oil cooler and shorten/secure the wire harness, which eliminates the need for repetitive inspections.
