The ski binding models subject to this recall were manufactured from July 2008 to October 2008. The date code corresponding to the date of manufacture is stamped on the product where the toe of a ski boot contacts the toe piece of the binding.

Number sold
Approximately 7,690 units of the recalled ski bindings were sold by authorized Salomon, Atomic, and Tecnopro dealers across Canada.
