Models named: A350-941, -1041. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.

Applicability*9

This AD applies to Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and -1041 airplanes, certificated in any category, having manufacturer serial numbers identified in Airbus Service Bulletin A350-53-P074, dated July 29, 2022.

Compliance

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

Required actions

Except as specified in paragraphs (h) and (i) of this AD: Comply with all required actions and compliance times specified in, and in accordance with, European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2022-0186, dated September 13, 2022 (EASA AD 2022-0186).

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by an in-service inspection that found overhead storage compartment (OHSC) crash rods that were disconnected. The FAA is issuing this AD to address this incorrect installation, which could affect the structural integrity of the OHSC under emergency landing loads. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could lead to OHSC detachment, resulting in injury to occupants and blocking an escape path during an emergency evacuation.

Affected ADs

None.
