Reason for recall

A design change to the load-bearing quick release buckle renders the springs in the latch mechanism susceptible to fatigue failure after repeated use.

Device recalls are issued when a component, software or design fault could cause the device to fail or give wrong readings. Many are corrections applied in the field rather than physical returns.
