Unsafe Condition
Cracking, corrosion, or free play in the spherical washers located in the aft flap track-to-wing trailing edge attachment assemblies at tracks 2 to 5 (left-hand and right-hand) could lead to washer breakage under load, transferring the load to fail-safe bolts which may fail after limited time, resulting in flap separation and adverse controllability.

Required Actions
Inspect spherical washers at tracks 2 to 5 (left-hand and right-hand) for cracking, corrosion, or free play. Replace washers showing discrepancies prior to further flight. Optional terminating action allows replacing all washers with improved material and tolerances as per service bulletins.
