Unsafe Condition

Jamming of the nose landing gear in the retracted position due to leakage of the shock absorber; partial loss of electrical power capacity in flight due to inadequate attachment of bus bars on panels 1, 2, and 3; failure of the nose gear steering system due to trapped air in the steering motor; loss of electrical DC generator power in flight as a consequence of inadequate grounding of generator master switches; loss of electrical DC generator power in flight as a consequence of inadequate grounding of generator master switches; asymmetric extension of wing flaps due to certain failures of the mechanical drive system; failure of the engine mount due to use of improper material when manufactured; cable slippage from drum of aileron control due to inadequate flange on aileron cable drum; possible disconnection of an aileron control rod from the differential sector due to failure of the control rod bearing; unwanted opening of the large cargo door in flight due to wear and distortion; instability of the DC generator control system due to interaction with the static inverters; loosening of the aileron stops due to improper design; possible failure of the pneumatic system due to cracking of isolating valve bodies P/N ACM 16724 or ACM 26573; possible fatigue cracks and loose rivets in the upper surface of the RH horizontal stabilizer torsion box; loss of the main instrument panel fluorescent lighting system due to short circuiting.
