## Discrepancy

THIS SDR IS TO REPORT ON MAGNETOS THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED AS FACTORY REBUILT AS ZERO  TIME UNITS.  WE HAVE ELECTED TO PERFORM TEARDOWN REPORTS ON NEW REBUILT UNITS PRIOR TO BE IN OPERATION ON ACFT DUE TO THE FACT THAT WE HAVE EXPERIENCED MANY PREMATURE FAILURES.  THE PREVIOUS REPORTS THAT WOULD BE RELEVANT TO THE SAME AS THIS ONE ARE AS FOLLOWS:  EPUA201409272014, EPUA20140925001 & EPUA201409272014.
