Pryde Group Americas of Miami, Fla., is recalling about 1,700 Cabrinha Kiteboarding 1X and Overdrive 1X Control Systems.
The Recoil spring on the control mechanism can jam, leading to a loss of control, which poses a risk of injury.
The company has received two reports of the spring jamming. No injuries have been reported.
The 1X and the Overdrive 1X control systems are both comprised of a light-weight control bar to control and depower the kite, a set of flying lines and a harness loop/quick release (QR) mechanism.
Both have an orange and black EVA grip and a new QuickLoop harness loop/QR. The Recoil spring mounted along the depower mainline is used to maintain the position of the trim adjusters.
The 1X control system (model number KS51XCSFX) is a fixed length and is available in two sizes: 45 cm and 55 cm. The Overdrive 1X (model number KS5CSSDODO) is adjustable between two bar lengths and comes in sizes: 48-56 cm and 57-62 cm.
Model numbers are located on a cloth tab attached to the bungee line restrainers at the end of the bars.
The control system, manufactured in China, was sold at Sea & Sky Sports, Scratch Kiteboarding, Watersports West, Wind Over Water and Wind Stalkers Kite Boarding and other specialty watersports stores and websites worldwide in August 2014 for about $570
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled control system and contact any Cabrinha authorized dealer for a free repair part.
