Unsafe Condition
Aileron trim actuator and rod spring lever attachment bracket--between frame 18 and 19 LH--on some aircraft may present loose rivets. If left uncorrected, this could lead to the separation of the attachment bracket, resulting in loss of aileron trim and loss of artificial force feedback, and consequent reduced controllability of the airplane.
