UPDATED Recall: All SureLock II Rubber Weight Pocket Handles | American Divers

Aqua Lung is conducting a voluntary recall of ALL SureLock II rubber weight pocket handles, including the revised handles from the previous recall.

SureLock II is the mechanical weight release system found on most Aqua Lung buoyancy compensators (BCs) beginning in 2009. Whether you have an original rubber handle or one of the revised rubber handles from the previous recall, Aqua Lung would now like to replace it with the latest generation handle, p/n 12396.  Aqua Lung is concerned about the life expectancy of both models of rubber handles.  A failure may occur due to separation of the rubber, cracking, tearing or breaking.  If this were to occur during a dive, the weight pocket would be left engaged inside the BC.  While there are no known occurrences of this happening underwater, and there have not been any reported injuries, Aqua Lung believes that a recall is the safe and prudent thing to do. The newest generation of handle does not rely upon rubber and is considered much stronger and safer.

If you have any of the weight pockets described in the attached recall, please contact ADI or your nearest Aqua Lung dealer.
