The following notice has been issued by the manufacturer:
PRECAUTIONARY RECALL OF ORTOVOX S1+ AVALANCHE TRANSCEIVERS
Individual feedback after search training and intensive follow-up inspections have shown that in very rare cases, a disturbance can occur in the transmission function in the ORTOVOX S1+ avalanche transceiver. The reason for this is the possible failure of a component.
In order to eliminate any risk for our customers, we have decided on a precautionary recall so that the affected component can be replaced. The S1+ devices affected by the recall may no longer be used without the required component being replaced.
This precautionary recall applies exclusively to the ORTOVOX S1+ model of avalanche transceiver. All other ORTOVOX avalanche transceivers are unaffected. Its predecessor, the ORTOVOX S1, is likewise unaffected.
Our examinations have shown that in rare cases, a component can fail after an indeterminate period of use. Until now this error could not be detected when installing components, despite 100% comprehensive quality control.
The component can only be replaced at the ORTOVOX service point.
DUE TO THE PRODUCTION TIME OF THIS COMPONENT, RETROFITTING WILL NOT TAKE PLACE UNTIL JULY.
For more detailed information about the recall procedure, please select your country on the Ortovox website.
