Compliance
You are responsible for having the actions required by this AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the actions have already been done.
Required actions
This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (g) of AD 2012-14-04, Amendment 39-17118 (77 FR 42956, July 23, 2012), with no changes. Within 2,000 flight hours or 12 months after August 27, 2012 (the effective date of AD 2012-14-04), whichever occurs first: Inspect to determine the part number (P/N) and serial number of the parking brake hydraulic accumulator, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Bombardier Service Bulletin 8-32-170, dated February 25, 2011. A review of airplane maintenance records is acceptable in lieu of this inspection if the part number and serial number of the parking brake hydraulic accumulator can be conclusively determined from that review. (1) For accumulators not having P/N 0860162001 or 0860162002: No further action is required by this paragraph. (2) For accumulators having P/N 0860162001 or 0860162002: Before further flight, do the applicable actions specified in paragraphs (g)(2)(i) and (g)(2)(ii) of this AD. (i) If the serial number is listed in the table in paragraph 3.B.(2) of Bombardier Service Bulletin 8-32-170, dated February 25, 2011: No further action is required by this paragraph. (ii) If the serial number is not listed in the table in paragraph 3.B.(2) of Bombardier Service Bulletin 8-32-170, dated February 25, 2011: Within 2,000 flight hours or 12 months after August 27, 2012 (the effective date of AD 2012-14-04, Amendment 39-17118 (77 FR 42956, July 23, 2012)), whichever occurs first, replace the accumulator with a new non-suspect accumulator, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Bombardier Service Bulletin 8-32-172, dated March 15, 2011.
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by reports of hydraulic accumulator screw cap or end cap failure. We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of a parking brake accumulator screw cap or end cap resulting in loss of the number 2 hydraulic system and damage to airplane structures, which could adversely affect the controllability of the airplane.
Affected ADs
This AD supersedes AD 2012-14-04, Amendment 39-17118 (77 FR 42956, July 23, 2012).
