(2) Group 2: The New Piper Aircraft, Inc. airplanes (not included in AD 2003-11-14) added to the applicability of this AD: Model Serial Nos. PA-34-220T 3449279 through 3449309. PA-44-180 4496169 through 4496190. What Is the Unsafe Condition Presented in This AD? (d) This AD is the result of an investigation that concluded that after issuance of AD 2003-11-14, additional fuel pumps that did not meet the quality control (inspection or design) requirements of the AD were installed in Models PA-34-220T and PA-44-180 airplanes. We are issuing this AD to correct quality control problems with the heater fuel pump, which could result in failure of the heater fuel pump. Such failure could lead to fire or explosion in the cockpit.
