Applicability*9

This AD applies to all Airbus SAS airplanes specified in paragraphs (c)(1) through (4) of this AD, certificated in any category. (1) Model A318-111, -112, -121, and -122 airplanes. (2) Model A319-111, -112, -113, -114, -115, -131, -132, -133, -151N, -153N, and -171N airplanes.

Compliance

Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.

Required actions

Except as specified in paragraph (h) of this AD: Comply with all required actions and compliance times specified in, and in accordance with, EASA AD 2020-0130.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by reports of main landing gear (MLG) torque link apex pin rupture in service. The FAA is issuing this AD to address MLG torque link apex pin rupture, which could lead to disconnection of MLG torque links, possibly resulting in reduced braking efficiency and/or increased risk of tire burst during take-off or landing.

Affected ADs

None.
