RECARO Aircraft Seating GmbH & Co. (RECARO) Model 3410 Seats
This AD applies to certain RECARO Aircraft Seats GmbH & Co. (RECARO) Model 3410 302, 303, 306, 307, 314, 316, 317, 791, 792, and 795 series seats. These seats are installed on, but not limited to, Boeing 737-200, 737-700, and 737-800 series, 747-400 series, 777-200 and 777-300 series; and Airbus Industries A319-100 series, A320-200 series, and A321-200 series airplanes.
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain RECARO Model 3410 302, 303, 306, 307, 314, 316, 317, 791, 792, and 795 series seats. This AD requires replacing the existing attachment bolts for the seat belts with longer attachment bolts. This AD results from a report of short attachment bolts that don't allow enough thread to properly secure the locknuts. We are issuing this AD to prevent a seat belt from detaching due to a loose locknut and attachment bolt, which could result in injury to an occupant during emergency conditions.
You are responsible for having the actions required by this AD performed within 60 days after the effective date of this AD, unless the actions have already been done.
For RECARO Model 3410 302, 303, 306, 307, 314, 316, 317, 791, 792, and 795 series seats with a serial number listed in section 1.A. Effectivity of RECARO service bulletin SB-No.: 3410-25MR477, Revision 3, dated May 17, 2004, replace the seat belt attachment bolt and nut. Use section 2. Accomplishment Instructions of RECARO service bulletin SB-No.: 3410-25MR477, Revision 3, dated May 17, 2004.
