## Discrepancy

(CAN)  WITH THE PAINT CLEANED AWAY FROM THE UPPER OUTSIDE RADIUS OF THE FORK, THE TECHNICIAN WAS ABLE TO DETECT THE CRACK WITH A GOOD LIGHT AND 10 X MAGNIFIER. THE CRACK RUNS HORIZONTALLY AND IS ABOUT 1-2 INCHES LONG. THE DEFECTIVE PART HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM SERVICE AND REPLACED WITH A FACTORY NEW PART.
