Unsafe Condition

The passenger door functional test engineering requirements (FTERs) were not fully accomplished on several airplanes, which could affect the rigging of the passenger door. This could result in higher loads on the passenger door stops, initiating cracks before the intended design service goal, and an in-flight opening of the passenger door.
