Voluntary recall: BD Recon LT avalanche transceiver

Firmware update required

by PowderGuide 03/24/2023
The Black Diamond Recon LT avalanche transceiver can unexpectedly switch to search mode even though the rotary switch is in the transmit position. The malfunction can be rectified by updating the device firmware to version v1.3 or higher. Black Diamond is conducting a voluntary recall for the device.

If you own a Recon LT avalanche transceiver from Black Diamond, you should take it out of service immediately and update the firmware. There are two ways to do this:

  • Download the Pieps app for iOS or Android devices, connect the device via Bluetooth and then follow the instructions on the screen.

  • Send the device to the Black Diamond Service Centre to have the update carried out free of charge (including shipping costs)

If desired, Black Diamond also offers a full refund for the Recon LT avalanche transceiver. Find out more about the recall here.
