The FAA is issuing this AD to address corrosion on attachment fittings and attachment screws for the MGB suspension bars. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could lead to structural failure of the MGB attachment screws, resulting in detachment of MGB suspension bars from the fuselage and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.
