2 reports on file.

EXHAUST SEGMENTS BURNED THROUGH, CONTRIBUTING TO HIGHER THAN NORMAL INTAKE AIR TEMP RESULTING IN REDUCTION OF POWER DETECTED AT RUN UP.
Part: SHIELD — DAMAGED (PASSENGER DOOR)
THE RIGHT FORWARD CABIN DOOR POST SHIELD WAS FOUND BUCKLED. UPON REMOVAL, FOUND THE FRESH AIR HOSE RUNNING DOWN THE DOOR POST WAS NOT ALLOWING THE SHIELD TO SEAT FULLY IN ITS CORRECT POSITION. THE AIR VENT HOSE WAS FLATENED TO PROVIDE SUFFICIENT CLEARANCE FOR THE SHIELD TO FIT PROPERLY.
