Unsafe Condition
Longitudinal sealing tape in the forward and aft cargo compartments had migrated from its original position, possibly due to relative movement between the cargo floor panels and the cargo loading system, combined with compression of the tape. This condition, if not addressed, could affect the fire extinguishing system efficiency in the cargo compartments, possibly resulting in failure of the system to contain a cargo compartment fire or permanently extinguish the fire.

Required Actions
Accomplish repetitive detailed inspections of the affected parts for complete or partial migration of the cargo sealing tape and to determine if there are any repairs on the tape; for partially migrated tape, measuring the maximum migration of the tape; for repaired tape, inspecting for incorrect seating/condition of the tape and incorrect sealant condition; and applicable corrective action if any discrepancies are found (i.e., any cargo sealing tape that has migrated more than 11 millimeters, complete migration of the tape, incorrect seating/condition of the tape in repaired areas, and incorrect sealant condition in repaired areas). Corrective actions include repairing the tape and sealant.
