Airworthiness Directives; General Electric Company Turbofan Engines

The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2017-09-06 for all General Electric Company (GE) GEnx-1B and GEnx-2B model turbofan engines. AD 2017-09-06 required updating electronic engine control (EEC) full authority digital electronic control (FADEC) software on GEnx-1B and GEnx-2B turbofan engines and replacing a certain fan hub frame assembly part installed on GEnx-2B turbofan engines. This AD requires updating EEC software on GEnx-1B and GEnx-2B engines and replacing a certain fan hub frame assembly part installed on GEnx-2B engines. This AD was prompted by the development of a design change by GE to remove the unsafe condition. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
