All private owners of a via ferrata set that is less than seven years old and affected by the recall are requested to return it immediately either directly to Edelrid or to a specialist retailer for forwarding to Edelrid. In return, you will receive a Cable Lite 2.2 via ferrata set as a replacement. This set conforms to the latest requirements of the German Alpine Club (DAV) Safety Commission and the certification bodies. In addition, there is also the option to upgrade to a more expensive model from this new generation for a surcharge.

Via ferrata sets older than seven years have reached their maximum service life and must no longer be used. These older sets should be withdrawn from use – regardless of model and design type. Edelrid urgently requests that these older sets are destroyed. Edelrid assumes no responsibility for products that have exceeded their maximum service life.

Edelrid wants to ensure that these older sets are no longer in use. We are therefore offering owners of an older via ferrata set from 2005 or earlier the opportunity to trade in their old set for a new Edelrid via ferrata set at a special price.

Please visit the Edelrid Recall web page for further details on the affected sets, as well as details on returning these to Edelrid for a replacement. See below.
