SAFETY RECALL NOTICE
PRODUCT:
Smith & Wesson's i-Bolt rifle
DESCRIPTION
OF THE HAZARD:
Smith & Wesson has discovered that the sear engagement pin in certain i-Bolt action rifles does not meet specification. The sear engagement pin is part of the fire control unit for the rifle which is manufactured for Smith & Wesson by an outside vendor. Our investigation has revealed that some of the sear engagement pins produced for Smith & Wesson do not comply with specifications and may, in certain instances, lead to a failure of this component. Although we have not received any reports of accidents or injuries, we are initiating this recall campaign in the interest of safety since a failure of the sear engagement pin may potentially lead to an unintended discharge of your rifle.
You should stop using the rifle immediately and return it to Smith & Wesson so that the appropriate corrective action can be taken.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCT INVOLVED:
This recall applies only to i-Bolt rifles manufactured by Smith & Wesson between October 18, 2007 and December 12, 2007. The recall is limited to 597 rifles produced during this time period. Click this link to view the list of the serial numbers for all rifles affected by this recall.
