What the authority reported
The recalled transceiver may not turn on, or if it does, may inadvertently turn off if it is impacted or jarred. This is due to a loss of contact in the battery compartment if used with AAA (LR03) batteries at the lower end of allowable dimensions. If this were to occur before or during an avalanche, the transceiver may fail to transmit a signal delaying search and rescue operations in the case of an avalanche. As of November 25, 2024 the company has received no reports of incidents or injuries in Canada. In the United States, the company has received 1 report of loose batteries affecting operation of the product, and no reports of injury.
What to do
Follow the instructions in the official notice — recall remedies (refund, repair, replacement, or disposal) are defined by the issuing authority and the responsible business, and they differ per recall. Do not rely on summaries, including this one.
