Salomon SAS has decided to carry out a voluntary and precautionary recall of the toe pieces of the below listed models of Salomon-branded ski bindings.
The ski binding models subject to the recall were produced between July and October 2008.
In certain circumstances, the toe components of the below listed models may not fully secure the ski boot into the binding, possibly causing the binding to release inadvertently, posing a falling risk to the skier.
Therefore, these binding models must no longer be used until the toe component is replaced.
The toe components of the following models are affected:
branded models:
For the listed bindings, the toe component to be replaced bears a visible production date code ending in the number “8” for 2008. This production date code can be found on the center plate where the toe of a ski boot contacts the toe piece of the bindings.
Consumers should not disassemble the bindings. Consumers should bring the Salomon LZ bindings to a Salomon authorized Ski Dealer. The authorized dealer will look at the production date on the toe piece and will confirm whether your toe component is subject to the recall.
Authorized dealers will replace the toe component of the listed bindings free of charge, with new toe components produced in 2009 that are compatible with the listed binding models.

The safety of our customers and the quality of our products are Salomon top priorities. It is because of this commitment that we are issuing this voluntary recall.
