Unsafe Condition
Insufficient clearance between the rudder bar lugs can prevent the freedom of the brake pedals, potentially leading to a master brake cylinder not being refilled with fluid from the reservoir, which can degrade brake effectiveness and cause directional control difficulties during landing, potentially resulting in a runway excursion.

Required Actions
Inspect the brake pedals for full and free movement within the specified compliance time using Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. Service Bulletin No. 32-002, Revision 2.
