## Discrepancy

RECEIVED SLIDE MR25822-2051 IN PACKED CONDITION.  UPON DISASSEMBLY FOUND ONE INCORRECT FRANGIBLE LINK INSTALLED AT THE SILL SUPPORT LOG.  FRANGIBLE LINK INSTALLED WAS P/N C19347-103 (NATURAL), 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.  INCORRECT FRANGIBLE LINK WAS INSTALLED DURING THE LAST OVERHAUL ON AUG 27, 2008.  CORRECT FRANGIBLE LINK P/N C19749-103 WILL BE REPLACED AT THIS OVERHAUL.  REF: AD 2001-15-06, AIR CRUISERS SB 004-25-51.
