The pin used to secure the rear snaplock lever to the bindings can bend or break. Flow International has received 40 reports of the pins bending or breaking. No injuries have been reported.
This recall includes 2004 Flow MK series snowboard bindings with model numbers MK03, MK04, MK05 and MK110. No other bindings are included in this recall.
