Black Diamond Equipment Recalls BD Recon LT Avalanche Transceivers Due to Risk of Loss of Emergency Communications; Risk of Serious Injury or Death
Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The hazard
The metal contact in the switch mechanism of the Recon LT avalanche transceiver can corrode and cause the transceiver to malfunction. If this occurs, the device can turn off and make it impossible to locate a victim in an avalanche, which could result in serious injury or death.
What to do
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled avalanche transceivers and contact Black Diamond for a full refund, a replacement transceiver, or a free repair. Consumers will not be asked for proof of purchase and will receive a pre-paid shipping label to return the recalled transceivers. Black Diamond is contacting all known purchasers. Consumers should go to https://warranty.bdel.com/beaconRecall2025/StepOne to participate in the recall. The repair involves replacing the original zinc coated steel insert with a corrosion resistant stainless-steel version. The replacement option allows the consumer to exchange their BD Recon LT avalanche transceiver for a BD Guide BT or BD Recon X avalanche transceiver. Both the BD Guide BT and BD Recon X transceivers utilize a different switch design. Consumers also have the option to return their device for a full refund (credit card reimbursement).
