AD NUMBER: AD 2008-25-06
MANUFACTURER: Airbus
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2008-25-06
SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as: Airbus has advised that an incorrect part number has been introduced in the IPC (illustrated parts catalog) for the rear engine mount barrel nut. This problem affects Airbus A319, A320 and A321 models with IAE (International Aero Engine) V2500-A5 engines. The part number introduced in error is not certificated for the IAE V2500-A5 engine installation and, if installed, may fail in service. Failure of the rear engine mount barrel nut could result in reduced structural integrity of the rear engine mount and possible separation of the engine from the airplane, and a consequent hazard to the airplane and persons and property.
