Applicability*9

This AD applies to all General Electric Company (GE) GE90-115B model turbofan engines with engine serial numbers 907451, 907464, 907504, 907564, 907574, 907599, 907601, and 907618.

Compliance

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

Required actions

Within 25 flight cycles after the effective date of this AD, remove from service the Interstage Seal, part number 2505M72P01 with serial numbers GWN0TCL3, NCE062LD, NCE254LC, NCE314KU, NCE374LB, NCE527KT, NCE777LD, or NCE994KW. Note 1 to paragraph (g): GE Alert Service Bulletin GE90-100 S/B 72-A0826, dated October 23, 2019, contains guidance for replacing the Interstage Seal.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by a recent event involving an uncontained high-pressure turbine (HPT) failure, resulting in an aborted takeoff, debris penetrating the aircraft's fuselage and the other engine. The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent failure of the HPT. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in uncontained HPT failure, release of high-energy debris, damage to the engine, damage to the airplane, and loss of the airplane.

Affected ADs

None.
