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

Applicability*9

This AD applies to Airbus SAS Model A350-941 airplanes, certificated in any category, as identified in European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2023-0068, dated March 30, 2023 (EASA AD 2023-0068).

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 2023-0068.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by reports that certain center wing box (CWB) fasteners had rotated inside the fastener holes due to insufficient friction for the application, and by the determination that additional work is necessary to ensure the correct application of the fuel vapor barrier structure paint on the outside of the CWB. The FAA is issuing this AD to address CWB fastener rotation. The unsafe condition, if not corrected, could lead to cracking of the fastener head sealant cover, followed by fuel vapor leakage inside the cabin, possibly resulting in injury to airplane occupants.

Affected ADs

This AD replaces AD 2020-24-12, Amendment 39-21342 (85 FR 76949, December 1, 2020) (AD 2020-24-12).
