Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by a field report of a fuel return line chafing incident on a Cessna Model 172 airplane with a serial number that was not in the Applicability statement of AD 2008-03-02 (73 FR 5737, January 31, 2008). Chafing of the fuel return line assembly could result in fuel leaking and fuel vapors, which could lead to fire. We are issuing this AD to correct the unsafe condition on these products.
Affected ADs
This AD supersedes AD 2008-03-02, Amendment 39-15351 (73 FR 5737, January 31, 2008).
