Unsafe Condition

The seat pan design of certain RECARO model 3510A and 3510D passenger seats is insufficiently stable to sustain the loads applied by a person who would use the seat as assistance means in case of an emergency evacuation. Body parts (e.g., knees and feet) could slide through and get trapped.
