Honeywell various parts SUP. SDR 510022781
Reference Honeywell Quality Assurance Memo CSB—107008. Honeywell discovered that they received suspect electronic counterfeit parts from two suppliers (the ‘Suspect Counterfeit Parts’) and that these parts have been assembled into delivered products. Honeywell severed relationship with the suppliers, purged their inventory of the Suspect Counterfeit Parts and initiated fielded product impact assessments. Honeywell’s preliminary assessment indicates no immediate safety of flight conditions exist; therefore, Honeywell recommends continued use of all products that may contain these parts. Six similar reports received. P/No: 20411687513.

Shell Water Detection Capsule 3502 fuel nil indication. SDR 510022738
A water detection sample test was performed prior to receipt of fuel from the tanker. Fuel was drawn through the Shell Water Detection Capsule with no indication showing of water present. The person performing the test applied a small amount of spittle IAW Company Local Procedures to simulate the presence of water. The capsule however did not change from yellow to blue as it should have. Another capsule from the same container and batch was again tested with the same result. The two capsules were then submerged under a running water tap with no change in indication. The test was then conducted with a different batch with an immediate change to blue indicated.
