Models named: A320-214, -251N, -271N. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.

Applicability*9

This AD applies to Airbus SAS Model A320-214, -251N, and -271N airplanes, certificated in any category, as identified in European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2021-0166R1, dated December 22, 2022 (EASA AD 2021-0166R1).

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, EASA AD 2021-0166R1.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by reports that damaged seat rail covers were detected in the forward and aft seat fixation area of some airplanes during initial delivery. Since AD 2022-10-08 was issued, it was determined that additional passenger seats are affected. The FAA is issuing this AD to address deformation or compression of the seat rail covers caused by improper transportation, handling, or installation on the airplane. This condition, if not addressed, could lead to seat track detachment, possibly resulting in injury to passengers.

Affected ADs

This AD replaces AD 2022-10-08, Amendment 39-22046 (87 FR 31129, May 23, 2022) (AD 2022-10-08).
