## Discrepancy

RECEIVED SLIDE MR25822-2212 IN PACKED CONDITION. UPON DISASSEMBLY FOUND ONE INCORRECT FRANGIBLE LINK INSTALLED AT THE SILL SUPPORT LOG. FRANGIBLE LINK INSTALLED WAS P/N C19347-107 (NATURAL/BLACK), SHOULD BE P/N C19749-103 (BLACK/ORANGE). DUE TO THE DIFFERENT BREAKING STRENGTHS OF EACH FRANGIBLE LINK THAT CAN CAUSE IMPROPER DEPLOYMENT OF THE EVACUATION SLIDE.   CAUSE/CORRECTIVE ACTION: INCORRECT FRANGIBLE LINK WAS INSTALLED DURING THE LAST OVERHAUL ON 09JUL09. CORRECT FRANGIBLE LINK P/N C19749-103 WILL BE REPLACED AT THIS OVERHAUL. REF: AD 2001-15-06, AIR CRUISERS S/B 004-25-51.
