Unsafe Condition

Premature wear of the dynamic seals between the actuator piston and the piston bearing in the yaw damper actuator installed on active position could lead to hydraulic leakage from the yaw damper actuator, potentially resulting in complete loss of the green hydraulic circuit and reduced controllability of the airplane.
