Plain English Summary

Who it affects: Owners of Cessna Model 172 aircraft with a serial number below 28332.

What you must do: Inspect or repair the nose wheel strut (the front landing gear that absorbs impact during landing) according to the manufacturer's instructions in Cessna Service Letter No. 170-5.

These directives are issued when a specific mechanical defect is discovered that could affect flight safety. Compliance is mandatory — you cannot legally fly the aircraft until the required action is taken.
