Unsafe Condition

Diaphragms produced from specific lot numbers could have stud threads that don't meet design, incomplete braze between the stud and hub, and studs made from lower temper material. Diaphragms from these lots could fail in fatigue prematurely, resulting in an in-flight engine shutdown due to a failed fuel servo diaphragm and damage to the airplane.
