Unsafe Condition
One case of elevator servo-control disconnection has been experienced, with the failure occurring at the servo-control rod eye-end. Additional inspections revealed cracking at the same location on multiple servo-control rod eye-ends, with some cases affecting both actuators of the same elevator surface. A dual servo-control disconnection could result in an uncontrolled elevator surface, leading to reduced control of the airplane.
