Required Actions
Perform a detailed visual inspection to detect cracks of the rear bracket attached to the outboard rib of the shroud boxes and the surfaces of the lugs adjacent to the bushes. If cracks are detected, replace the bracket with a modified bracket. Replace the outboard aft brackets with modified brackets having floating boxes within 4 years after the initial inspection.
