What happened

Model numbers are printed on a cloth tab attached to the bungee line restrainers at the end of the bars.

Consumers who own these products should immediately stop using the recalled control system and contact any Cabrinha authorized dealer for a free repair part. A list of authorized dealers is available at www.cabrinhakites.com/dealers.html.
