Armada, Atomic and Salomon recall ski touring bindings

Ski equipment manufacturers Armada, Atomic and Salomon have issued a voluntary and precautionary product recall for a specific production run of the “Tracer”, “Backland” and “MTN” bindings. The manufacturers say it has become apparent that, under certain conditions, the spring guide axle on the toe piece of the binding could break. Such a failure could cause the ski boot to detach from the ski, which could cause a skier to lose control, fall or be injured.

Bindings purchased before May 1, 2022, are not affected by this voluntary recall. Consumers who believe they have an affected binding should stop using it, visit the respective manufacturer’s website and follow the instructions there to determine the specific production batch for individual bindings. Authorized dealers can also determine if specific bindings are affected by the recall. Once bindings are identified as at risk, customers will receive immediate replacements from the authorized dealer.
