Cabrinha is recalling about 1,700 of their 1X and Overdrive 1X kiteboarding control systems because the Recoil spring on the control mechanism can jam. This defect can lead to a sudden loss of control while kiteboarding, posing a significant risk of injury to the user. The affected products include the fixed-length 1X (45 cm and 55 cm) and the adjustable Overdrive 1X (48-56 cm and 57-62 cm), both featuring orange and black grips. Cabrinha has received two reports of the spring jamming, though no injuries have been reported so far. Consumers should stop using these systems and contact an authorized dealer for a free repair.
The Recoil spring mounted along the depower mainline can become jammed during use. If the spring fails to move freely, the rider may lose the ability to properly control or depower the kite, which can lead to collisions or accidents.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled control system and contact any Cabrinha authorized dealer for a free repair part. A list of authorized dealers can be found at www.cabrinhakites.com/dealers.html.
