SUMMARY OF BULLETIN:

CHECKING IF YOUR ENGINE, GEARBOX OR GEAR SET IS AFFECTED; Engine serial number and gear box serial number must be checked against the affected serial number ranges listed in the applicable SB. For engines which have had the gear box previously removed for service and have had the original gear set changed, the replacement gear set must also be checked against the affected serial number ranges listed in the SB to determine if the gear set is affected.

COMPLIANCE:
During the next maintenance event or at the latest April 30th 2008.
