Applicability*9

This AD applies to The Boeing Company Model 737-600, -700, -700C, -800, -900 and -900ER series airplanes, certificated in any category, as identified in Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-57-1293, Revision 3, dated December 14, 2012.

Compliance

Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.

Required actions

Within 24 months after the effective date of this AD, modify the fluid drain path in the wing leading edge area, forward of the wing front spar, and do all applicable related investigative and corrective actions, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-57-1293, Revision 3, dated December 14, 2012. Do all applicable related investigative and corrective actions before further flight.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by a report of leaking fuel from the wing leading edge area at the inboard end of the number 5 leading edge slat. We are issuing this AD to prevent flammable fluids from accumulating in the wing leading edge, and draining inboard and onto the engine exhaust nozzle, which could result in a fire.

Affected ADs

None.
