Beechcraft Corporation Mandatory Service Bulletin 32-4125 calls for inspection and replacement as necessary of certain nose landing gear forward retract plunger rods. Any nose landing gear (NLG) plunger assemblies P/N 35-825094-4 or NLG retract rod assembly P/Ns 96-820025, 96-820025-17 or 35-825087-16 delivered between March 1, 2012 and March 31, 2013 are affected.
An improperly brazened rod end might separate from the plunger assembly, causing a nose gear collapse on landing. This MSB affects G36 and G58 airplanes delivered during the stated period, and any Bonanza, Debonair, Baron, Travel Air or T-34 that may have one of the P/Ns from the stated period installed. See MSB 32-4125 for details.
