Reason the product is recalled
These BCDs or Inflatable Devices could develop excessive corrosion or rusting problems with the stainless steel Over Pressure Valve (OPV) spring possibly leading to mechanical malfunction.
The hazards to consumers
Spring may fail and the BCD or Inflatable device may leak through to the OPV with the potential to cause malfunctioning of the device. This may adversely impact on driver safety.
The potential defect is limited to a very small portion of the total number of OPV springs supplied during this time period. However, given the potentially serious implications all OPV springs should be checked to minimize risk to Halcyon customers.
