## Discrepancy

DFW - FLIGHT 2811, THE CREW REPORTED A LAV SMOKE INDICATION AFTER TAKEOFF.  THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO DFW WHERE IT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE INSPECTED THE AIRCRAFT AND PLACED THE APU ON MEL 49-00-00 CTL 117353, AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS APPROVED FOR RETURN TO SERVICE.  THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO IAH ON 03/09/07 WHERE MAINTENANCE REMOVED AND REPLACED THE APU, OPERATIONALLY CHECKED WITH NO DEFECTS, REMOVED MEL, AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS APPROVED FOR RETURN TO SERVICE.
