## Abstract

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus SAS Model A319-171N; Model A320-271N, -272N, and -273N airplanes; and Model A321-271N, -272N, -271NX, and -272NX airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report indicating that during inspection of the engines, two original rods installed to maintain an interface plate between the pylon and nacelle were found damaged at both rod-eye ends. This AD requires repetitive inspections of the pylon/engine interface rods for damage, and applicable corrective actions, and limits the installation of affected parts under certain conditions, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
