Recall for Avalanche Transceivers As Switch May Fall Off
30th May 2022
Last modified on June 2nd, 2022
The reason for the recall is that the on/off switch may fall off the Tracker4 transceiver due to a problem with the plastic.
If this occurs it would stop the ability to transmit or search for a discoverable electronic signal in the event of an avalanche.
There have been no reported incidents in which the Tracker4 switch issue has contributed to a fatality, injury, or other damage.
Backcountry Access (BCA), in cooperation with the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Health Canada have issued the recall.

The problem affects a limited number of transceivers.
Devices that start with the serial number 21H05 or 21H06 may have the fault.
To determine if a unit is affected people should look for the serial number inside the battery door.
If the serial number begins with 21H05 or 21H06, BCA will replace it with a new unit at no extra charge.
