Further information about this recall:

We found a very small number of stainless steel parts from a recent production batch may have a manufacturing issue that can cause corrosion and eventually part failure.

The stainless steel part is located in the Harness Loop assembly.

In the event of the part failing, the kites’ flag out system will engage.

Reported cases of failure so far are less than 0.1% of a production batch, however as safety is our main concern we have decided to replace potentially affected Harness Loops.

We created a document with all the affected serial numbers that you can download

Replacing the Click-In Loop Harness Loop

While holding the release handle up, use the 2mm Hex key to unwind the Hex screw that is securing the Harness Loop in place.
Unwind until the Harness Loop can be removed. It is not necessary to unwind the screw completely.
Remove the Finger from the old Harness Loop and fit onto the replacement Harness Loop.
Fit the replacement Harness Loop and original Finger into the Click-In Loop body.
Wind the Hex screw back in. It should be fitting flush with the plastic surface on each side. It should not interfere with the release handle.
