Unsafe Condition

Failure of multiple transformer rectifier units (TRUs) due to certain diodes installed in the TRUs, which are the main factor contributing to continuing TRU failures. This could result in loss of thrust reversers, autothrottle, flaps, and various systems (wing/cockpit window anti-ice, trim tank pumps, and windshield wipers) on the airplane, or display of incorrect information to the flightcrew.
