About 4,250 Armada, Atomic and Salomon ski bindings are under a recall. The toe component of the recalled ski bindings could fail, causing the ski boot to disconnect from the ski, posing fall and injury hazards.
Amer Sports received two reports where the front binding failed. No injuries were reported.
The ski bindings were sold at ski stores nationwide and online at armadaskis.com, atomic.com and salomon.com from May 2022 through September 2023 for between $550 and $600 when sold separately.
The recall involves the following:
- Armada N Tracer Tour (Black)

The recall also affects 1,446 ski bindings sold separately in Canada. The products bear serial numbers ranging from 22P00000 to 22P10531, 22P92954 to 22P99999, 23P10531 to 23P10886, and 230600000 to 230769999. The serial number is visible when the bindings are disassembled.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled ski bindings and return them to any authorized Armada, Atomic Ski or Salomon dealer for a free inspection and a free replacement of the toe portion of the ski bindings if included in the recall.
Authorized dealers will verify if a binding is included in the recall based on its serial number. Amer Sports is asking consumers to only allow dealers to disassemble the bindings.
