Unsafe Condition

The pylon internal shear pin was found cracked due to hydrogen embrittlement, which could lead to insufficient strength of the pylon to wing attachment. This, in combination with an engine imbalance caused by a fan blade out, could cause pylon to wing attachment failure and consequent engine separation.
