Voluntary Recall: Mammut Barryvox 2 and Barryvox S2

The potential malfunction is based on an assembly issue. As a result, the main switch on the affected devices may be misaligned leading to unintentional switching from Send to Search mode with lateral pressure, or possibly even turning the device off completely. This defect can pose a potential safety risk to users and requires rectification. 

Upon identifying this issue, Mammut conducted a 100% inspection of its stock, confirming that only Barryvox 2 and Barryvox S2 models may be impacted. The Barryvox and Barryvox S models from previous seasons are not affected by this issue. ​
