(f) Compliance Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done. (g) Definition of Affected Parts For the purposes of this AD, an affected part is the bearing arm of roll spoilers having part number (P/N) 001B577A1200000, 001B577A1200001, 001B577A1200002, 001B577A1200003, 001B577A1200004, or 001B577A1200005.

(j) No Reporting Requirement Although 328 Support Services Alert Service Bulletin ASB-328-57- 043, dated September 21, 2018, specifies to submit certain information to the manufacturer, this AD does not include that requirement.
