## Discrepancy

(CAN) UPON LANDING, LT THRUST REVERSER DID NOT DEPLOY COMPLETELY WITH NO DEPLOY LIGHT.  AFTER USING EMERGENCY, T/R WAS STILL IN UNLOCKED MODE.  NORMAL ENGINE SHUT DOWN WAS CARRIED OUT.  FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED 4 RODS BENT AND PDU SHAFT SHEARED.  IT APPEARS THE BLOCKER DOOR CAUGHT THE SKIN OF THE EXHAUST, CAUSING ROD AND PDU DAMAGE.  T/R REPLACED.
