IF THE STC MODIFICATION IS PROVEN TO PRODUCE UNSATISFACTORY FLIGHT CHARACTERISTICS, REQUIRE REMOVAL OF THE SA1371S STOL KITS FROM ALL AFFECTED AIRPLANES.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)

If the modification is found to produce unsatisfactory flight characteristics, the FAA must require removal of the SA1371S STOL kits from all affected airplanes.
