Cabrinha is recalling approximately 2,900 kiteboard control systems, including the Overdrive 1X Recoil, Overdrive 1X Trimlite, 1X Trimlite, and Chaos 1X models. A stainless steel component called the Power Bracket Seat (PBS) can break during use, leading to a sudden loss of kite control. These systems were sold at watersports stores nationwide from July 2016 through March 2017 for about $550. While no injuries have been reported, the firm has received six reports of this component breaking while in use.
The stainless steel connection point between the lower front line and the landing line can snap. If this occurs, the user will lose control of the kite, which can cause them to fall or be injured by the uncontrolled kite.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled kiteboard control systems and return them to the place of purchase to receive a free replacement kit with instructional guide.
