PA38 Wing Spar Life

Whats the definitive answer regarding Wing Spar life on a PA38 Tomahawk ?
My understanding is that they had some corrosion issues and required a Boroscope inspection. That, (assuming this inspection was OK) they were lifed at 11000 hours total time but this could be extended by 7660 hours if a modification to the Wing Spar (Caps) was done.

Replies for CAA/ EASA land only please as I am based in the UK.

Thanks in advance,
