## Discrepancy

THE SEAM IS LEAKING BETWEEN THE UPPER AND LOWER TUBE ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SLIDE RAFT. OEM REPORTS THAT LEAKAGE WAS THE RESULT OF LOCALIZED PINHOLE LEAKS AND NOT A LEAKING SEAM.  DAMAGE IS CONSISTENT WITH LOCALIZED IMPACT OR ROUGH CONTACT DAMAGE TO MATERIAL DURING SLIDE MANUFACTURE.
