Immediate Product Stop Use, Recall and Repair Notice
September 4, 2025
Notice Number: KS03-SUR
KStrong Inc. is committed to ensuring the safety and reliability of all our products. During a recent quality inspection, we identified a manufacturing issue involving the KStrong® BRUTE™ Backer™ LE V2 Class 2 – Dual SRL-P.
Specifically, it was found that in some units, the anaerobic adhesive (thread lock) was not applied to the set screws that secure the block swivel pin. Without this adhesive, the set screws may loosen over time, potentially causing the swivel pin to disengage and the block to become separated from the energy absorber.
IMPORTANT: Although there have been no reported incidents resulting in an injury, we are issuing this Immediate Stop Use, Recall, and Repair Notice out of an abundance of caution.
