Unsafe Condition

The side baulk blade in the right and left rear and forward passenger and service doors may not provide sufficient tension, and the clearance between the side baulk blade and its abutment may be insufficient, which could prevent the doors from opening during an emergency situation.

Required Actions

Install stronger springs to increase tension at the side baulk blade in the doors; increase the clearance between the side baulk blade and its abutment; and shorten the plate anchoring the side baulk return springs, following British Aerospace Service Bulletin 52-89-00668H, J, K & L, Revision 2.
