Seems probable. I did also find this separate, but hilarious issue for the Air Force version of the F35 when rooting around

In July 2022, the Air Force temporarily grounded its F-35s over ejection seat concerns. While the Air Force F-35A does not have an auto-eject function, some of the cartridges that initiate the ejection in the warplane were found to have issues, leading to the grounding.

The cartridge problem came to light during an F-35 inspection...An ejection cartridge felt suspiciously light and, after a closer look, turned out to be missing its explosive charge that would lift someone to safety.

How many different ways can they screw up one area lmao

I wonder how many pilots were doing incredibly dangerous things while having literally no ejection seat lol
