Unsafe Condition

Cracks in the outer V-blades of the thrust reverser, which could lead to separation of the thrust reverser from the airplane during normal reverse thrust or refused takeoff, potentially causing impact damage to other airplane areas and unexpected thrust asymmetry.

Required Actions

Inspect the outer V-blades of the thrust reverser for cracks, replace cracked V-blades with serviceable parts, and send inspection results to Boeing. Repetitive inspections are required with intervals not exceeding 2,000 flight cycles from the last detailed inspection. Optional terminating action is provided to eliminate repetitive inspections.
