Unsafe Condition
Incorrect torque unit for the CFM56-5A engine forward mount fasteners was inadvertently introduced into a maintenance manual, potentially leading to under-torqued bolts. This, combined with induced maintenance damage, could result in forward engine mount failure, engine detachment, reduced control of the airplane, and potential injury to persons on the ground.
