Q&A
-
Under certain conditions, unexpected breakage of the spring guiding axis (indicated by the red pointers below) may occur, causing the ski boot to disconnect from the ski. Failure of the toe component may lead a skier to lose control, fall, or suffer injuries.
-
Consumers should immediately stop using these ski bindings and return them to any Salomon dealer. The dealer will determine if the binding is subject to the recall and, if yes, will replace the toe component free of charge.
-
The easiest way to know is to answer this questionnaire. It will help you to know whether you need to bring your bindings back to the dealer for verification or not.
-
If you are uncertain if your binding is affected, or if you are unsure of your date of purchase, please call our consumer service (contact details here under)
-
We are glad that you like our bindings, however your safety is our primary concern. So please immediately stop using these ski bindings and have them verified by one of our dealers. They will tell you whether your bindings are subject to the recall or not.

Proof of purchase is not necessary in this case. Please bring your skis & bindings back to the shop where you bought them or, if not possible, any Salomon dealer using the store locator. In case of any problems, you may call our Consumer Service (contact details here under).
-
The retailer will check the serial number of your bindings. For this, they need to dismount one of the toe components from the ski. Then, there are 2 possibilities:
- Your bindings are not part of the recall > The dealer will re-mount the toe component
- Your bindings are part of the recall > the dealer will unscrew both toe components, and replace them at no charge. -
No, only dealers should disassemble ski bindings. Under no circumstances should you try to alter or disassemble the bindings by yourself. That is why we kindly ask you to visit your Salomon dealer.
-
We have changed the manufacturing process and we have also reinforced our quality checks during and after production.
-
No, the process is free of charge.

As we replace toe components by new ones, these will be under warranty for 2 years starting from the replacement date. The rest of the binding (heels, brakes, etc) remains under the original warranty policy.
