## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE THE ENGINE MOUNT RING (HORSE COLLAR) WAS FOUND CRACKED AT TWO OF THE FOUR CORNERS, INSIDE JOINT.  DUE TO THIS BEING A KNOWN PROBLEM, AN ADDITIONAL TASK CARD TO CHECK FOR THIS CONDITION, INITIATED IN 1999, WAS ADDED TO OUR MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE EVERY 100 HOURS.  AS A RESULT, WE HAVE DISCOVERED THE CONDITION ON 9 SEPARATE COLLARS.  THE COLLAR WAS REPLACED AND THE AIRCRAFT RELEASED.
