3.  REPORTING COMPLIANCE SUSPENSE DATE - NO LATER THAN 12 SEP

4.  SUMMARY OF PROBLEM -
     A.  TWO (2) 145DS102-3 FORWARD TRANSMISSION MAIN
LUBRICATION PUMP SHAFTS HAVE FAILED IN SERVICE.  THE PUMP
SHAFT FRACTURED CAUSING THE OUTPUT PRESSURE OF THE PUMP TO
DECREASE.  THE FAILURES CONSISTED OF A FRACTURE OF THE PUMP
SHAFT BETWEEN THE TWO (2) GEROTORS RESULTING IN ONLY ONE
GEROTOR BEING DRIVEN AND A REDUCTION OF MAIN OIL PRESSURE TO
FIVE(5) TO SEVEN(7) PSI.  THE SHAFT FAILURES WERE DETERMINED
TO BE THE RESULT OF BENDING FATIGUE WITH THE ORIGIN AT A
MANUFACTURING DEFECT (CRACK) IN THE SNAP RING GROOVE.  OUR
INVESTIGATION CONCLUDED THAT THE CRACKS WERE CAUSED BY SHAFT
STRAIGHTENING AFTER HARDENING.
     B.  THREE (3) ADDITIONAL PUMP SHAFTS INSPECTED EXHIBITED
CRACKS.  ALL FIVE (5) OF THE ABOVE FAILURES WERE FROM THE SAME
MANUFACTURING WORK ORDER (I.E. LOT).  FIVE (5) ADDITIONAL
MANUFACTURING LOTS OF PUMP SHAFTS HAVE BEEN INSPECTED AND NO
CRACKS HAVE BEEN FOUND.  THE SUSPECT LOT OF 145DS102-3 FORWARD
TRANSMISSION LUBRICATION PUMPS CONSISTS OF SERIAL NUMBERS V534
THROUGH V598.  THE PROBABILITY OF A SUSPECT PUMP MALFUNCTION
IS INCREASED OVER THAT OF A NON-SUSPECT PUMP.
     C.  BASED ON DATA OBTAINED DURING FORWARD TRANSMISSION
AUXILIARY OIL SYSTEM TESTING, IT IS LIKELY THAT AFTER A MAIN
LUBRICATION PUMP MALFUNCTION THE TRANSMISSION OIL PRESSURE
MASTER CAUTION WARNING LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE FOLLOWED BY
ILLUMINATION OF THE FORWARD TRANSMISSION OIL HOT MASTER
CAUTION WARNING LIGHT.  ILLUMINATION OF THESE WARNING LIGHTS
REQUIRES COMPLIANCE WITH PUBLISHED EMERGENCY PROCEDURES, I.E.
LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE.  IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT
MALFUNCTION OF A MAIN LUBRICATION PUMP WILL NOT AFFECT
AUXILIARY OIL PRESSURE WITHIN THE FORWARD TRANSMISSION.
     D.  THE SUSPECT FORWARD TRANSMISSION LUBRICATION PUMPS
ARE TO BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE, REWORKED, AND IDENTIFIED WITH
THE LETTERS "RW" AFTER THE SERIAL NUMBER ON THE PUMP
IDENTIFICATION PLATE.
     E.  FOR MANPOWER/DOWNTIME AND FUNDING IMPACTS, SEE PARA
12 BELOW
     F.  THE PURPOSE OF THIS MESSAGE IS TO CONDUCT A VISUAL
INSPECTION OF ALL FORWARD TRANSMISSION LUBRICATION PUMP
IDENTIFICATION PLATES FOR SUSPECT SERIAL NUMBERS V534 THROUGH
V598.  IF FOUND, THESE PUMPS ARE TO BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE
AND RETURNED FOR REWORK.
5.  END ITEMS TO BE INSPECTED - ALL CH-47D, MH-47D, AND MH-47E
AIRCRAFT.
6.  ASSEMBLY COMPONENTS TO BE INSPECTED -
