PIEPS DSP Pro, DSP Pro Ice, and DSP Sport Avalanche Transceivers

Published April 12, 2021 · Recall initiated: April 12, 2021

What's the hazard

The transceiver can switch modes unexpectedly when not locked or installed in the harness. When this occurs, it will prevent the transceiver from transmitting a signal and can make it difficult to locate a skier in an avalanche, which can result in severe bodily harm or death.

What to do

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled avalanche transceivers and contact Black Diamond for a free replacement hardcase carrying system and user guide to be used with the recalled transceivers.
