Reported: February 18, 2016 Initiated: February 18, 2016 #16105

Product Description

This recall involves snowboard boots with the M3v2 secondary reel dials, which are used to adjust the fit at the forefoot and tongue of the boots. This recall involves all sizes and colors of the following snowboard boot brand models containing the M3v2 reel: • 32 (Binary) • Burton (Photon, Concord, Felix) • DC (Control) • DeeLuxe (Spark Summit, Vicious) • Flow (Helios Focus) • Head (Six Boa Focus) • K2 (Darko) • Ride (Fuze, Lasso, Triad, Hera, Norris) • Rome (Inferno, Memphis) • Salomon (Dialogue Focus) • Scarpa (EVO F1) If the M3v2 reel has an adhesive sticker dot on the front, then the recalled dial has already been replaced and nothing further needs to be done.

Reason for Recall

The secondary reel can become stuck in the open position, causing the fit at the forefoot of the boot or tongue to loosen and posing a fall hazard.

Remedy

Consumers should immediately stop using the snowboard boots and contact the retailer where the boots were purchased or Boa for a free repair kit. Free replacement reels and a repair tool will be provided with instructions. A repair video is also available at https://vimeo.com/boa/M3v2fix.
