According to my propeller shop the makers of the PCU5000 prop governors just issued a service letter for replacement of their balance weight assemblies exactly the same as MT.

While on a tour of the MT facility in       Deland FL., I mentioned the prop gov problem. Office Manager Sarah       said just call when you have questions.Â  They also take care of       the mod in their shop.Â  Phone: (386) 736 7762

The way I read it, it's just for overhaul shops working on PCU5000s, if they get one. It's not a recall.

MT governors were not a recall either, just a service bulletin with some misleading information as to what governors needed upgrade.



BTW my MT governor is noticeably more responsive and a little more sensitive since the upgrade, as the new flyweights are a little heavier.
