Approximately 1,400 DIANA Stormrider Gen 2 air rifles are being recalled because they can unexpectedly fire even when the safety is engaged. These .177 and .22 caliber air rifles were sold nationwide at Pyramyd Air, Air Gun Depot, Amazon.com, and other retailers between July 2018 and June 2019. One incident of a premature discharge has been reported, though no injuries have occurred yet. Consumers should stop using the air rifles immediately and contact Air Venturi for a free trigger upgrade kit.
The air rifle's 2-stage adjustable trigger can fail, causing the weapon to discharge unexpectedly even if the safety mechanism is active. This defect poses a serious risk of accidental gunshot wounds, which can lead to severe injury or death.
Consumers should immediately stop using the DIANA Stormrider Gen 2 air rifles and contact Air Venturi to receive a free Trigger Upgrade repair kit and installation instructions. The repair is made by removing the trigger guard, replacing the current trigger with a new trigger and re-installing the trigger guard using the Allen Keys provided in the Upgrade repair kit. DIANA and its importer, AIR VENTURI, are contacting all known purchasers directly.
