aircraft McDonnell Douglas DC-10-10 and DC-10-10F Airworthiness Directives; McDonnell Douglas Model DC-10-10 and DC-10-10F Airplanes; Model DC-10-15 Airplanes; Model DC-10-30 and DC-10-30F (KC-10A and KDC-10) Airplanes; Model DC-10-40 and DC-10-40F Airplanes; Model MD-10-10F and MD-10-30F Airplanes; and Model MD-11 and MD-11F Airplanes

Unsafe Condition

Damage to the wire support bracket and wiring of the auxiliary hydraulic pump, and water intrusion through the electrical connectors of the auxiliary hydraulic pump, could lead to a potential ignition source in the right wheel well of the main landing gear (MLG) around the fuel tank, which could result in fuel tank explosions and consequent loss of the airplane.

Required Actions

Fabricate and install a wire harness guard in the right wheel well of the main landing gear (MLG). Investigate and correct as necessary. For certain airplanes, replace the electrical connectors of the auxiliary hydraulic pumps with improved electrical connectors. Investigate and correct as necessary.
