What happened

Elevate Outdoor Collective is recalling the Backcountry Access Tracker4 Avalanche Transceiver because the toggle switch can separate from the device and prevent it from switching to search mode. This defect makes it difficult to locate a skier in an avalanche, potentially resulting in severe bodily harm or death if a skier becomes buried under snow.

The recall affects yellow and black Tracker4 transceivers with serial numbers beginning with 21H05 or 21H06. The serial number can be found inside the battery compartment after removing the top AAA battery. According to the record, consumers should immediately stop using the recalled transceiver and contact Backcountry Access to receive a prepaid shipping label to return it for a free replacement.
