Unsafe Condition

Some SM-200 servo drive units (power servo motor and housing assemblies) installed on Model DHC-7 airplanes are not in configuration MOD H, which prevents the internal clutch fasteners from backing out. This could lead to internal clutch fasteners backing out, causing an inadvertent servo engagement and reduced controllability of the airplane.
