## Discrepancy

ELEVATOR PITCH TRIM MOTOR HOUSE ATTACH SCREWS ARE WORKING LOOSE AND CAUSING EXCESSIVE MOVEMENT OF THE ELEVATOR SYSTEM. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH ALL 24 OF OUR AIRCRAFT. CIRRUS HAS BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT BUT HAS TAKEN NO ACTION AS OF THIS DATE. TO CORRECT, ONE MUST REMOVE THE TRIM MOTOR, RETIGHTEN THE SCREWS, AND REINSTALL. UNKNOWN YET HOW LONG RETIGHTENING THE SCREWS LASTS.
