PIEPS DSP Pro, DSP Pro Ice, and DSP Sport Avalanche Transceivers
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Black Diamond is recalling all PIEPS DSP Pro, DSP Pro Ice, and DSP Sport Avalanche Transceivers because the devices can unexpectedly switch modes when not locked or installed in the harness. When this occurs, the transceiver cannot transmit a signal, making it difficult to locate a skier buried in an avalanche. One death has been reported related to this hazard. The transceivers are identifiable by the PIEPS name printed on the front, model names (DSP Pro, DSP Pro Ice, or DSP Sport), exterior colors of green/yellow, black/yellow, or clear/yellow, and LCD display with an Off/Search/Send slider switch.
Consumers who own a recalled transceiver should immediately stop using it. According to the recall record, affected consumers should contact Black Diamond for a free replacement hardcase carrying system and user guide to be used with the recalled transceivers.
