Marker KingPin recall for the 2017/18 season

PENZBERG, JULY 26, 2018 - Based on intensive product testing and quality procedures regarding the possible breakage of steel pins in the toe pieces of a limited number of Marker KingPin bindings, Marker has decided to voluntarily recall the affected products. The recall only includes bindings from the 2017/18 season of KingPin models 10 and 13. The breakage of the steel pins in 2017/18 models can lead to lower release forces of the binding and in rare cases
to a risk of falling.

The toe pieces of the affected bindings will be replaced by Marker free of charge. Affected customers are asked to contact their local authorized Marker retailer or contact Marker National Sales for a list of authorized Marker retailers: www.marker.net/de/kontakt/. In addition, customers can check at www.marker.net/de/service-hilfe/rueckruf/ to see if their product is part of the affected batch. Retailers have been asked to stop selling recalled bindings. New bindings have a modified logo to distinguish them from recalled bindings.

Marker relentlessly pursues the goal of offering products with the highest quality standards. The company continuously optimizes its product lines, such as the KingPin binding, based on feedback from consumers and its own intensive testing procedures.

The affected bindings can be identified by the serial numbers, see picture above, as well as by the brand logo on the toe piece. Affected are gold and copper-colored bindings with and without the "M" logo, see image gallery below.
