Item number: 1557 Hot G2 Bent Colour: 0999/ rot

These numbers are stamped near the info of breaking load (see illustration) or on the opposite side of the carabine next to the certification number.
This precautionary recall concerns only the carabine itself. There were no original SALEWA express sets produced with the carabines concerned. Thus

carabines are tested for their loading capacity. During testing, the Hot G2 Bent carabine deviated in its lateral axis breaking load from the norm values.
Important note: The test was conducted under extreme conditions, which are highly unlikely to occur in practice. As a precautionary measure, SALEWA
has decided to recall all Hot G2 Bent carabines from the market to prevent any risks for the user.
Owners of these carabines are asked to contact a SALEWA dealer or SALEWA Sportgeräte GmbH.
The carabines specified above will be immediately replaced with new carabines.
