What happened

Cabrinha is recalling certain kiteboard control systems because the connection point between the lower front line and landing line can break, which may cause users to lose control of the kite and risk injury or falls. The affected models are the Overdrive 1X Recoil, Overdrive 1X Trimlite, 1X Trimlite, and Chaos 1X Control systems with specific model numbers (KS7CSODFR, KS7CSODQR, KS7CSODFC, KS7CSODQC, KS7CSFXFC, KS7CSFXQC, and KS7CSCHFX). Only units marked with "2017 1X" printed on a cloth tab attached to the bungee line restrainers are included in this recall.

According to the recall, consumers should immediately stop using the recalled control systems and return them to the place of purchase for a free replacement kit that includes an instructional guide. A video demonstrating how to install the replacement plastic power-bracket is available online.
