Models named: LEAP-1B21, LEAP-1B23, LEAP-1B25, LEAP-1B27, LEAP-1B28, LEAP-1B28B1, LEAP-1B28B2, LEAP-1B28B2C, LEAP-1B28B3, LEAP-1B28BBJ1. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.

Applicability*9

This AD applies to CFM International, S.A. (CFM) Model LEAP-1B21, LEAP-1B23, LEAP-1B25, LEAP-1B27, LEAP-1B28, LEAP-1B28B1, LEAP-1B28B2, LEAP-1B28B2C, LEAP-1B28B3, LEAP-1B28BBJ1, and LEAP-1B28BBJ2 engines.

Compliance

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

Required actions

(1) For engines with an installed HPT rotor stage 1 disk having a part number (P/N) and serial number (S/N) identified in Compliance, paragraph 3.E., Tables 1 through 2, of CFM Service Bulletin (SB) LEAP-1B-72-00-0392-01A-930A-D, Issue 002, dated September 5, 2023 (CFM SB LEAP-1B-72-00-0392-01A-930A-D, Issue 002): At the next piece-part exposure of the HPT rotor stage 1 disk, or before exceeding the applicable cycles since new (CSN) threshold identified in Compliance, paragraph 3.E., Tables 1 through 2, of CFM SB LEAP-1B-72-00-0392-01A-930A-D, Issue 002, whichever occurs first after January 16, 2024 (the effective date of AD 2023-23-12); or if the applicable CSN threshold has been exceeded as of January 16, 2024 (the effective date of AD 2023-23-12), within 50 flight cycles (FCs) from January 16, 2024 (the effective date of AD 2023-23-12); remove the HPT rotor stage 1 disk from service and replace with a part eligible for installation. (2) For engines with an installed compressor rotor stages 6-10 spool having a P/N and S/N identified in Compliance, paragraph 3.E., Table 3, of CFM SB LEAP-1B-72-00-0392-01A-930A-D, Issue 002: At the next piece-part exposure of the compressor rotor stages 6-10 spool, or before exceeding the applicable CSN threshold identified in Compliance, paragraph 3.E., Table 3, of CFM SB LEAP-1B-72-00-0392-01A-930A-D, Issue 002, whichever occurs first after January 16, 2024 (the effective date of AD 2023-23-12); or if the applicable CSN threshold has been exceeded as of January 16, 2024 (the effective date of AD 2023-23-12), within 50 FCs from January 16, 2024 (the effective date of AD 2023-23-12); remove the compressor rotor stages 6-10 spool from service and replace with a part eligible for installation.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by a manufacturer investigation that revealed that certain high-pressure turbine (HPT) rotor stage 1 disks and a certain compressor rotor stages 6-10 spool were manufactured from material suspected to have reduced material properties due to iron inclusion. The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent fracture and subsequent uncontained failure of certain HPT rotor stage 1 disks and a certain compressor rotor stages 6-10 spool. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in uncontained debris release, damage to the engine, and damage to the aircraft.

Affected ADs

This AD replaces AD 2023-23-12, Amendment 39-22614 (88 FR 85836, December 11, 2023) (AD 2023-23-12).
