Unsafe Condition

Cracked turbocharger oil inlet adapters may result in oil leakage and failure of the turbocharger system.

AI-generated summary from the source AD text. Verify against the official source before acting.

Required Actions

Inspect the turbocharger oil inlet adapter for cracks and oil seepage. Replace with steel adapter TCM P/N 640793 or Cessna P/N 5655204-2 if cracks or leakage are found. Inspect at intervals not exceeding 25 hours' time in service until replacement is completed. Replace aluminum adapters with steel fittings within one year from the AD's effective date.

Compliance required within the next 25 hours' time in service after the effective date of this AD, unless already accomplished.
(1) To detect cracked turbocharger oil inlet adapters inspect the turbocharger oil inlet adapter located at the turbocharger center housing for cracks and/or oil seepage. If there is evidence of oil leakage or cracks, the adapter must be replaced with steel adapter TCM P/N 640793 or Cessna P/N 5655204-2. When replacing the aluminum adapter with the steel adapter on the following model airplanes, the oil fitting which mates with the turbocharger oil inlet adapter must be replaced, unless already accomplished, with the appropriate steel fitting listed below.
