Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Elevate Outdoor Collective is recalling about 9,000 Backcountry Access (BCA) Tracker4 Avalanche Transceivers sold in yellow and black. The toggle switch on these units can break or separate, which prevents the transceiver from switching into search mode. Elevate has received 14 reports of broken toggle switches, and consumers should immediately stop using these devices and contact the manufacturer for a free replacement and a prepaid shipping label.

Risk

If the toggle switch fails, the device cannot switch into search mode to locate a person buried in an avalanche. This failure can result in severe bodily harm or death if a buried individual cannot be found quickly.
