Unsafe Condition

Cracks initiating from rivet holes attaching turbocharger air intercooler mounting brackets on right truss tube assemblies and chafing or structural weakening on left truss tube assemblies could compromise structural integrity of engine nacelles.

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

Required Actions

Inspect right truss tube assemblies for cracks via dye penetrant inspection prior to next flight and every 50 hours until Kit No. 102-9001-1S is installed. Inspect left truss tube assemblies for chafing and cracks, replacing cracked parts before next flight. For aircraft with Kit No. 102-9001-1S or newer serial numbers, conduct comprehensive visual and dye penetrant inspections within 100 hours after AD effective date or last inspection, then every 100 hours. Replace cracked assemblies before flight. Adjust inspection intervals up to 10% as needed, except initial inspection.
