Summary
Requires replacing wire harness trim connector backshells with P/N M85049/90-13W02, if manufactured by AMPHENOL, or if the manufacturer is unknown with serviceable parts and prohibits installation or reinstallation of affected parts. During electrical tests on BK117D-2 helicopters still on the production line, a short circuit in the connector of the yaw trim actuator occurred. Subsequent investigations identified damage to the wiring insulation, caused by a sharp edge in part of that connector.
