Unsafe Condition

Failure of the fuel valve actuator assembly due to an improperly heat treated armature shaft could result in loss of control of fuel shutoff, crossfeed, and required fuel management capability.

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

Required Actions

Remove and replace or inspect and rework the fuel valve actuator assemblies (Boeing P/N 60B92406-27/-28 or ITT P/N MA11A1173/MA11A1174) with approved parts or methods within specified compliance times. For engine fuel shutoff valves, compliance is required within 145 days or 1300 hours time in service. For crossfeed and other valves, compliance is within 1 year or 3200 hours time in service.
