Boeing Issues Airworthiness Directive for Certain DC-10 and MD-11 Models

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Boeing models, including the DC-10 and MD-11, to prevent fuel tank explosions and loss of the airplane. The directive requires installing an in-line fuse in certain float level switches and sleeving wires between the fuel tank and the in-line fuse.
