Unsafe Condition

A production quality deficiency on the inner retainer installed on link assemblies of the aft engine mount could result in failure of the retainer, leading to loss of the locking feature of the nuts of the inner and outer pins. This could result in the aft mount engine link no longer being secured to the aft engine mount, possibly causing damage to the airplane.
