PRODUCT RECALL NOTICE: ARMADA, ATOMIC AND SALOMON RECALLING SELECT SKI TOURING BINDINGS

Voluntary and precautionary recall enacted in response to potential breakage

Leading ski equipment manufacturers, Armada, Atomic and Salomon today issued a voluntary and precautionary product recall for a specific production run of the “Tracer”, “Backland” and “MTN“ bindings.

Following reports from several retailers and our own technical investigation. It was revealed that under specific conditions, there is a potential risk of breakage of the spring guiding axis on the toe piece of the binding. Such a failure could lead to the disconnection of the ski boot from the ski, which may cause a skier to lose control, fall or suffer injuries.

Bindings purchased before May 1^st, 2022, are not affected by this voluntary recall and customers who believe they have affected bindings should immediately stop using them and take further action.

Customers have two paths to identify impacted bindings:

1. Visit [https://www.atomic.com/safety-notice] and follow instructions to identify the specific binding production batch for individual bindings.
2. Visit the nearest authorized dealer to have brand experts determine if specific bindings are subject to recall.

Once identified, if replacement bindings are required, customers can visit their nearest authorized dealer for immediate replacement. Verified dealers have been extensively briefed and are supporting the recall process, ensuring the safe and swift replacement for all impacted bindings.

‘We are skiers, first and foremost and we understand the profound trust our consumers and dealers place in our equipment. Safety is not just a priority at Atomic; it’s the foundation upon which we build every product. During this binding recall, we are committed to minimizing disruption, ensuring that skiers can quickly return to the mountains with confidence. We apologize to our consumers and appreciate the partnership of our authorized dealer partners in facilitating the identification and replacement of these impacted bindings”
