## Discrepancy

SMOKING MS20470DD8 RIVETS OBSERVED AT WS122  - 140 PROX DURING SCHEDULED INSPECTION.  THESE RIVETS ARE CRITICAL TO WING INTEGRITY.  IT APPEARS THAT THE RIVETS DID NOT PROPERLY ENGAGE THE HOLE DURING OEM INSTALLATION.  SUGGEST ALL WING BOXES WITHIN 10 SERIAL NUMBER RANGE BE CLOSELY INSPECTED FOR SAME.  NOTE: MFG DATES FOR THE IDENTIFIED WING BOXES ARE MAY 1995 IN ALL CASES. (K)
