DMM is trying to spread the news that they are recalling the #6 Dragon Cam. There seems to be a structural defect that is specific only to the size 6 Dragon Cam. The information below is from the DMM website. They are confident that it does not affect any other sizes except the number 6. These spicy pieces of gear have been talk of controversy by Black Diamond fans from all over, saying they are a rip off from the Camalot. On the other hand they are nice and function well, check out their specs!
Where to find it:
DMM International has identified a raw material problem that may affect the strength on certain models of the Dragon Cam in size 6 (Product Code A7056A).
This recall only involves the Dragon Cam in size 6 and no other sizes of Dragon Cam are involved.
The problem originates from a structural defect in a raw material that is uniquely used to make a single component on the size 6 Dragon.
The raw material involved is used to make the aluminum axle boss on the Dragon Cam in size 6. DMM International has discovered that the components made out of this defective material can develop cracks and that these cracks can grow and propagate with time. This could cause the units to fail below their rated strength.
The units affected were made between the 28th April and the 30th June and there are 604 units in the market that could be affected.
The affected units have one the following serial numbers. The serial number is located on the back edge of one of the two centre cam lobes.
If you own a Dragon Cam 6 with a serial number listed below then you should immediately discontinue all use of this product.
The product can be returned via your retailer or directly to DMM so that it can be replaced.
