What was found

THE SPRING ON THE EXTERIOR RED LEVER HANDLE IS BROKEN. WHEN YOU UNSTOW THE HANDLE THE LEVER DROPS DOWN WITH NO TENSION. WHEN YOU MOVE THE LEVER BACK TO THE NEUTRAL DETENT IT WILL NOT STOW WITHOUT MANIPULATION OF THE CLASP TO STOW IN PLACE. THE CLASP ITSELF IS NOT VERY TIGHT SO DOOR HANDLE COULD POTENTIALLY UNSTOW DURING FLIGHT. R&R MED EXTERNAL HANDLE IAW AMM 52-11-24. OPS CHECK GOOD.
