Lycoming is issuing an AD for "ALL" engines manufactured between January 2009 and February 2017.  This is 16,000 effected engines.  Apparently there have been multiple reports of connecting rod failure that led to serious engine issues and in-flight shutdowns!

The AD will require regular oil inspections to check for bronze metal particles.  If particles are found further checks of the rod bushings for damage or wear will be required.  If found, parts must be replaced.  Yikes.  Hoping my engine (reman completed in 7/19 will NOT be imacted.
