Unsafe Condition

Failure of the compressor mount can cause misalignment and subsequent failure of compressor to turbine shafting spline joints which may lead to an inflight loss of power or disconnect of the gas producer turbine rotor with a subsequent inflight shutdown/overspeed uncontained turbine wheel failure.

Required Actions

Within 100 hours time-in-service after the effective date, inspect the compressor mount assembly per Allison CEB-A-72-2080/3081 or equivalent. If cracks are found, follow continued service criteria: inspect every 25 hours if one crack not within 3/8 inch of edge, or remove before further flight if cracks are within 3/8 inch or multiple cracks. Replace the compressor mount with P/N 23007217 by November 30, 1986, during overhaul/repair.
