This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Boeing Model 747-400 and -400D series airplanes. This action requires an inspection to determine the routing configuration of wire bundle W4489 and related investigative/corrective actions.

This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
