I did some research before I picked this wing and I did not come across the recall. can you please share the official link ? I can't seem to find any article on this topic for Mach 5 wings but I admit I only looked at the first 2 pages of google results. Also, checked Oxycheq web site and did not come across the recall. do share please.
The recalls I was referring to are with respect to Halycon wings, not Oxycheq wings.
Oh.... well... if you ride Harleys then your tolerance for stuff breaking and falling off as you go is already pretty high so it won't really matter what wing you buy.... LOLI'll post my own thoughts on it but until then, I just want to tell you that I have been riding Harleys for the past 14 years. Never had a problem with either the Sportster or the Dyna WideGlide model I currently ride. However, do you know how many recalls have been issued on these two bikes in the past 14 years?
Just kidding. I used to ride a Honda, which the Harley guys laughed about because it was some kind of "girly" bike but I rode it 100k kilometres in a few years and never did anything on it apart from routine maintenance. My neighbour had a Harley, which admittedly was a very hot looking bike but he had to fix it every weekend .... LOL
Back to diving gear. People have higher expectations of diving gear than the "average" sporting goods product. Recalls of diving gear are actually fairly common and nothing to be overly concerned about on the whole. It represents the manufacturer's commitment to safety, which is partly driven by legal issues but partly just a part of the dive culture. I was just giving that guy some push back about declaring Halcyon the "best of the best" because it's objectively just not true. The Halcyon is the one BCD I know of where people were having significant and potentially life-threatening issues with free flowing inflators before the manufacturer stepped up to the plate and replaced them. Usually manufacturer's are a LOT quicker to react if something is wrong. Some years ago, for example, Sherwood recalled it's Maximus regulator for a refit after ONE reported failure, IIRC. This is the kind of service divers have grown to expect and appreciate from equipment manufacturers. It's the reason that recalls are common but also the reason that nobody loses sleep over it on the whole.
