Required Actions
Perform a one-time general visual inspection to determine if a certain part number is installed on the MLG retraction actuator. If necessary, perform a general visual inspection for discrepancies (such as cracks, damage, and movement) between the actuator rod end and shock strut lug of the MLG retraction actuator. If any discrepancy is found, replace the MLG retraction actuator, and as applicable, replace the anti-rotation pin and the attachment bolt with a new pin and bolt. Replace the actuator with a new actuator having a certain part number, and modify the attachment points.
