Black Diamond Recalls Recon LT Avalanche Transceiver Due to a Corrosion Issue


In conjunction with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Health Canada, Black Diamond Equipment is recalling the Black Diamond Recon LT avalanche transceiver and related avalanche safety sets due to a corrosion issue that may cause it to malfunction. Recon LT owners can have their transceivers repaired, exchanged for a different model, or refunded.



In some cases, the metal contact of the Recon LT’s switch mechanism may corrode. If this occurs, the device could malfunction or turn off, potentially hindering avalanche rescue efforts and increasing the risk of serious injury or death. Consumers who own the Black Diamond Recon LT should immediately stop using it and follow the recall procedures.

Black Diamond has received six consumer reports on this issue, with no injuries, accidents, or fatalities. Black Diamond is committed to addressing this matter swiftly and proactively.

Affected Products

This recall affects all Black Diamond Recon LT transceivers manufactured and sold between June 1, 2021, and February 14, 2025, with serial numbers from 2040 to 2321. The serial number can be found by connecting your transceiver to the PIEPS app via Bluetooth.



This transceiver was sold as a standalone unit and as part of two avalanche safety sets. The Product Names, Style Numbers, and SKUs are below:



Recall Procedures

Owners of Black Diamond Recon LT avalanche transceivers should immediately stop using them and follow the recall procedures. Consumers in North America and Europe have three options:



Send your device back to Black Diamond for rework: We will replace your Recon LT’s switch contact with a corrosion-resistant stainless-steel version. Upon receiving your device, our team will replace the contact, conduct a full inspection, and return it within 14 business days. Shipping both ways is free of charge.

Exchange for a different model: Swap your Recon LT for a Black Diamond Guide BT or the Recon X. Shipping both ways is free of charge (quantities permitting).

Request a full refund: If preferred, you may return your device for a full refund.  Shipping is free of charge.



Which devices are concerned by this recall? 



This recall addresses ALL Black Diamond Recon LT transceivers and related avalanche safety sets. All Recon LT transceivers were manufactured and sold between June 1, 2021, and February 14, 2025, and their serial numbers, with the first four digits between 2040 and 2321, are included.



This transceiver was sold as a standalone unit and as part of two avalanche safety sets. The Product Names, Style Numbers, and SKUs are below:



The serial number can be found by connecting your beacon to the PIEPS app via Bluetooth:

1. Activate Bluetooth on the beacon by turning the device on and quickly pressing the Mark button. The Bluetooth symbol will appear in the top left corner of the screen to indicate that Bluetooth is activated.



2. Open the PIEPS app on an iOS or Android device. Enter the Device Manager and press “Connect Bluetooth Device.” The beacon model and serial number will be displayed.



Have there been any accidents related to this issue?



Black Diamond has received six consumer reports related to this issue, with no injuries, accidents, or fatalities.



How was this issue discovered?



We received several warranty claims where the Recon LT powered off when switching to search mode. We immediately initiated an internal investigation and found that a critical component of the switch was corroded, leading to a decrease in electrical conductivity. As a result, we launched a global recall of the Recon LT.



What are my options if I own a recalled Recon LT?



Consumers in North America and Europe have three options:



Send your device back to Black Diamond for rework: We will replace your Recon LT’s switch contact with a corrosion-resistant stainless-steel version. Upon receiving your device, our team will replace the contact, conduct a full inspection, and return it within 14 business days. Shipping both ways is free of charge.

Exchange for a different model: Swap your Recon LT for a Black Diamond Guide BT or the Recon X. Shipping both ways is free of charge (quantities permitting).

Request a full refund: If preferred, you may return your device for a full refund. Shipping is free of charge.

It’s the middle of the ski season and I can’t do without my transceiver. What should I do?

How are you going to be reworking it?



We will replace you Recon LT’s switch contact with a corrosion-resistant stainless-steel version. Upon receiving your device, our team will replace the contact, conduct a full inspection, and return it within 14 business days.



How do I know if my Recon LT has been reworked?



Examine the inside of the battery compartment lid (see photos)

If the screw head protrudes from the metal insert, then your transceiver has not been reworked. Stop use immediately and begin the recall procedures



If the screw head is recessed in the metal insert, then your transceiver is reworked and can be used.



I have a Recon LT and it seems to be working fine. Can I keep on using it?



NO. Stop use immediately and follow the recall process. The device could malfunction or turn off, potentially hindering avalanche rescue efforts and increasing the risk of serious injury or death.



I’ve been using my Recon LT transceiver for the last several years. Does that mean I’ve been in danger the whole time?



This issue is highly detectable during a proper beacon check and if it was functioning correctly when the test was performed, then there was no increased risk.



Can I do the repair myself?



No. The repair must be done by Black Diamond to ensure that the transceiver functions properly.



Does this recall have anything to do with previous PIEPS/Black Diamond transceiver recalls?



No. This recall only concerns the Recon LT. Visit this page to see if your transceiver is subject to an earlier recall.



Wasn’t the Recon LT recalled before? How is this recall different?



The 2023 recall of the Recon LT was related to an issue with the firmware, which can easily be resolved with a firmware update. For more information, please click here. This new recall is an issue with the hardware and consumers should stop use immediately and follow the recall procedures.
