Unsafe Condition
A quality escape has been identified in the installation of certain fasteners of the lower beam (frame) splices of the overwing emergency exit (OWE) doors, due to the use of incorrect tools during the installation process. This incorrect installation could lead to the detachment of the splices from the lower beam (frame) of the door, which is a principal structure element, causing structural damage to the lower part of the door, sudden loss of pressurization, and emergency descent of the airplane.
