SCARPA North America F1 LT and F1 GT Ski Boots

What went wrong

The notice saysThe two screws on each boot that attach the ski/walk mechanism to the cuff can loosen or fall out, causing the mechanism to malfunction, posing a fall hazard and risk of injury to the consumer.

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.

How to tell if your pair is affected

Product description in the noticeThis recall involves the Fall 2022 F1 LT and F1 GT men’s and women’s ski boots. The ski boots were sold in black/orange/aqua blue color combinations. SCARPA is printed in white letters on the lower outer side of the boot. The model name "F1 LT" or "F1 GT" is printed on the upper right outside ankle cuff of the boots. Only ski boots manufactured in 2022 are included in this recall. The manufacture date is stamp molded into the cuff. To locate the manufacture date, the ski/walk mechanism must be placed in walk mode and the cuff pushed back. The lower circle has an arrow pointing to the number "22," indicating the manufacture year.

The notice gives no style numbers or barcodes, so you match on what it does give: the brand and style (F1 LT and F1 GT Ski Boots), the sale period (August 2022 to December 2022), the store (REI) and the “made in” label (Italy). If a detail does not line up, the recall contact below can confirm.
