We [my Air Carrier] received an A320 left-hand (l/h) Inboard (I/B) Flap from a Contract Maintenance Repair Station with an FAA 8130-3 Tracking Tag. The Status/Work [section on the Tag] says: Repaired. The FAA 8130-3 Tag indicates all other discrepancies left as is and Customer will complete all other items listed in Tear Down [Disassembly] Report. This flap was delivered with several parts not installed and just put inside a box loosely. This flap is not a complete unit. Several bearings [that were] not written-up are bad and have paint over-spray; both wiring harnesses on unit are chafed and worn thru; only one was written-up in Tear Down Report. There are several discrepancies with this flap not written-up and [this flap] should not have an FAA 8130-3 Tag attached to it. Nowhere on the FAA 8130-3 Tag does it indicate [the flap] unit is not assembled per the Illustrated Parts Catalog (IPC); or [indicate] what parts are not installed; [also] some parts missing and not documented.
