Unsafe Condition

Failure of the inboard strut-to-diagonal brace attach fittings due to cracking, which could result in separation of an engine from the airplane.

Required Actions

Perform visual inspections of the forward lower diagonal brace fittings of the inboard pylon to detect cracking, in accordance with Boeing Service Bulletin 747-54-2062, Revision 7. Additional high frequency eddy current inspections may be required in areas beyond the existing AD specifications. Replace or repair cracked fittings as necessary.
