Arc’teryx Procline boots

What went wrong

The notice saysThe axis pin located at the rear of the boot can dislodge, resulting in damage to the boot and posing a fall hazard.

In ski and snowboard boots a fall hazard usually comes from hardware: a cuff pivot, buckle, power strap, walk-mode lever or the sole interface with the binding. When one of those lets go, the boot can release or lose support at speed. That is why these recalls tend to offer repairs or replacement parts through the shop that sold the boots, rather than a refund.
