Unsafe Condition

The tracklock pin bearing of the tracklock bracket assembly may detach from its housing and wedge in the tracklock mechanism, causing the captain and first officer crew seats to slide horizontally on the track during acceleration and takeoff, resulting in uncommanded movement of the seats and reduced controllability of the airplane.
