Unsafe Condition
Due to the design of the oxygen generator release pin, one of the mask's lanyards linked to the pin can be jammed when pulled by a pilot or passenger, potentially leading to a risk of generator fault and subsequent lack of oxygen in case of decompression.

Required Actions
Inspect the oxygen generator release pin and lanyards for potential jamming issues. Revise the Pilot Operating Handbook (POH) to include procedures for pulling on the other mask lanyard in case of failure to release oxygen. Install any modifications provided by SOCATA once available.
