This recommended SB addresses oil leaks, low oil pressure, and in-flight shutdown events resulting from cracked No. 6 bearing oil supply tubes. There have been reports of cracks found on the supply tube at the brazed support bracket, creating the possibility for leakage of oil to the aft No. 6 bearing.
This SB calls for replacing the No. 6 oil supply tube and must be performed by an Authorized Honeywell Service Facility. Honeywell also recommends this SB be accomplished at the next cause for removal or MPI, whichever comes first.
MSP covers the cost of compliance for engines enrolled in the program.
