Unsafe Condition

Failure of the flexshaft of the thrust reverser actuation system (TRAS) lock between the upper actuator and the TRAS lock, which could result in the loss of the fail-safe level of protection against in-flight thrust reverser deployment.

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

Required Actions

Perform repetitive general visual inspections of the bullnose seal, repetitive tests of the electrical connector P3/P4 of the position switch modules, repetitive 'hot short' protection tests on the TRAS lock and directional pilot valve (DPV), and functional tests on both thrust reversers for the electro-mechanical brakes and CDU cone brakes. Replace components as necessary and ensure proper torque.
