Unsafe Condition
Excessive lateral movement of the slat track stop pins can result in damage to the slat canister during extension or retraction of the slats. Incorrectly torqued slat track stop pins may puncture the slat canister, causing fuel leakage and posing a fire hazard.

Required Actions
Conduct a one-time torque check of all wing slat track stop pins and retorque as necessary. Perform a borescope inspection for damage or wear if more than five complete turns are needed to reach the required torque. Inspect critical pins first, with remaining pins inspected by the next 'C' check.
