Unsafe Condition

Parts of the MLG (main landing gear) main body and trailing arm bushings have been found corroded. Investigation showed that over time, these bushings can migrate, creating the risk of corrosion in adjacent areas. Such corrosion, if not detected, could cause damage to the MLG, possibly resulting in MLG functional problems or failure.

Required Actions

Inspect the MLG bushings for corrosion and migration. Replace the bushings if they exceed the revised mandatory retrofit limitation of 15,000 flight cycles or 6 calendar years time-in-service, whichever occurs first. Ensure that bushings installed after Dornier Service Bulletin SB-328-32-245, Revision 2, dated November 21, 2007, and Messier-Dowty Service Bulletin 800-32-014, Revision 1, dated July 19, 1999, are not subject to additional replacement requirements unless records verify otherwise.
