Marker has recalled approximately 4,100 Kingpin models 10 and 13 alpine touring ski bindings from the 2017-2018 season. The steel pins in the toe unit of the binding can break, which reduces the force needed for the binding to release. No injuries have been reported, but consumers should immediately stop using these bindings and return them to an authorized Marker retailer for a free replacement toe unit. The affected bindings have black bodies with gold or copper accents and were sold at specialty ski stores and online between March 2017 and April 2018.
The steel pins in the toe unit can break unexpectedly, causing the binding to release too easily. This creates a significant fall hazard for the skier while in use.
Consumers should immediately stop using these bindings and return them to a Marker authorized retailer to obtain a free replacement toe unit. Consumers should bring their boots to be sure their bindings are adjusted correctly.
