Unsafe Condition

Bonded skin panels may not have been correctly anodized in phosphoric acid before the tear strap doubler was bonded to the skin, resulting in a weak bond between the skin and tear strap. This disbonding could reduce the skin's ability to resist cracks and adversely affect the structural integrity of the airplane.
