Background: The FAA issued an AD in response to several reports of fractures of the outer cylinder aft trunnion due to stress corrosion cracking. Subsequent to the above reports, the FAA received an additional report of the collapse of the main landing gear on a Model 767-300 series aircraft. Investigation revealed that this latest fracture differed from those reported previously in that it initiated at the crossbolt hole, and additional inspections in an expanded area are now required.
