Hot on the heels of the most recent ABS airbag recall, Mammut has today issues a service call on their own systems. If you have either an ABS or Mammut bag, you need to check whether or not your bag is affected. Mammut posted the following service bulletin today:
Service Bulletin Mammut / Snowpulse Avalanche Airbag
Individual feedback and intense inspections showed that the connection between the release mechanism and the Venturi box may come loose in very rare cases at very intense use of the avalanche airbag. To exclude loss of function, we ask you to preventively re-equip this connection with the specifically developed clip. This clip prevents coming loose of the connection. Re-equipment of the Venturi clip can be performed quickly and easily by any customer.
Mammut takes the subject of safety very seriously and strives to guarantee best safety to you with our products.
We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your trust. We wish you a safe winter.
The following models are affected by the re-equipment call:
Airbag systems of the production seasons Winter 2011/12, 2012/13 and 2013/14.
Airbag systems of the production seasons Winter 2011/12, 2012/13 and 2013/14.
- Removable Airbag System RAS
- Protection Airbag System
- Snowpulse Lifebag System
These systems can be installed in backpacks by Mammut, Snowpulse, Highmark by Snowpulse, Scott, as well as Ferrino, Oakley and Jones Snowboarding.
To see if your avalanche airbag needs to be re-equipped, open the backpack and expose the release mechanism connected to the cartridge.
