The stainless steel PBS is mounted on the top of the depower mainline between one of the lower front lines and the landing line.

Model numbers included in the recall are: KS7CSODFR, KS7CSODQR, KS7CSODFC, KS7CSODQC, KS7CSFXFC, KS7CSFXQC and KS7CSCHFX. Only models with "2017 1X" printed on a cloth tab attached to the bungee line restrainers at the end of the bars are included in this recall.
- The hazard
- The point of connection between the lower front line with the landing line can break, causing a loss of kite control, posing injury and fall hazards.
- Injuries
- The firm has received six reports of the stainless steel PBS component breaking. No injuries have been reported.
- The remedy
- Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled kiteboard control systems and return them to the place of purchase to receive a free replacement kit with instructional guide.
