Helicopter fire extinguisher cables must be checked after incorrect installations

The US aviation regulator is requiring inspections of certain Leonardo S.p.A. helicopters. This is because some fire extinguisher cables and their grounding braids were installed incorrectly. Operators must now check these parts and fix them if needed.

This is a safety fix for a specific helicopter model. It means that operators of these helicopters must now spend time and money to inspect and potentially repair their aircraft. The goal is to prevent future failures of the fire extinguisher system.
