## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING ACCOMPLISHMENT OF SCHEDULED JC 3-327N, IT WAS FOUND THAT BOTH LT & RT AFT FLAPS FWD/LWR OPERATIING RODS WERE BENT.  BOTH ROD ASSY WERE REPLACED.  THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE FLEET (WORLD WIDE). IT IS SUSPECTED THE ICE AND OTHER FOREIGN MATTER ACCUMULATE ON THE L/E OF THE AFT FLAP OR FLAP OVERSPEED CAUSES BENDING OF THE FWD (LWR) ROD ASSY.  MFG HAS BEEN ADVISED OF SIMILAR EVENTS OVER THE LAST 2 YEARS.
