Salut,
L’information au sujet de ce rappel a apparu aussi chez IKSURF magazine :
https://www.iksurfmag.com/kitesurfing-news/2013/08/safety-notice-for-flysurfer-infinity-2-0-quick-release/ “ Exchange procedure for the QR2.0
Concerns: Affected kites are of the type FLYSURFER SPEED3 12m, 15m, 19m, 21m, FLYSURFER SPEED4, 8m, 10m, FLYSURFER UNITY 6m, 8m, 10m, 12m,
FLYSURFER OUTLAW 6m, 8m, 10m, 12m, 14m, FLYSURFER PSYCHO4 6m, 8m, 10m, 12m, 15m, FLYSURFER CRONIX 6m, 8m, 10m, 12m.
Which are delivered to FLYSURFER sales partners after 01.01.2013. NOT AFFECTED are kites delivered BEFORE 01.01.2013 and all kites of the VIRON series.
During routine checks concerning serial controlling of kites, we determined that a few individual Quick Releases of the Infinity 2.0 Bar system had breaking strengths of below 200kg. More detailed studies have shown that in production mistakenly a false line has been used, which was not according to our specifications and is unsuitable to be used for the purpose as a loopline.
So far, not a single case is known to us, that Quick Releases were broken on kites that were delivered to FLYSURFER customers. Should a Quick Release break during the use of the kite, the kite falls into SAFETY mode. This can, especially when jumping over land (snow kiting, land kite boarding) or kiting on open waters under certain conditions, have fatal consequences for the user!
Further checks & detailed studies have determined, that very sporadically also a certain metal part in the QR can have a weak point.
FLYSURFER therefor advises URGENTLY to exchange the complete QR2.0 on affected kites, exchanging only the loopline is not enough! Marquartstein, 9th of August 2013

Below you will find more information in regards to the QR2.0 exchange procedure “
Où on peut lire que Flysurfer a offert de remplacer le système de sécurité (quick release) sans frais, puisque ce système peut lâcher avec de conséquences possiblement graves.
Est-ce que ce replacement du système de sécurité (quick release) a été fait sur tes kites : Flysurfer Outlaw 12m et 14m?
