DS Arms Inc. SAFETY NOTICE/WARNING and RECALL FOR SA58 RIFLES (LOWER TRIGGER HOUSING)
|
|
DSA, Inc., has received a small number of reports from the field stating that some SA58 rifles may have a LOWER TRIGGER HOUSING (See below photo, Figure 1- LOWER TRIGGER HOUSING) that will exhibit faster than normal wear characteristics resulting in possible safety hazards to the shooter or bystanders. This recall does not affect or apply to the STG58 Rifles.
The raw material for these LOWER TRIGGER HOUSINGS was manufactured by a well known forging company and supplier of similar parts to other firearm manufacturers. While this manufacturer provided certifications that the LOWER TRIGGER HOUSINGS were within DSA, Inc’s., required specifications, independent testing has revealed that some LOWER TRIGGER HOUSINGS may not have been properly heat treated by this supplier.
We are firmly committed to the safety of our customers and the safety and durability of our SA58 rifles. Therefore, we will immediately inspect and retrofit those affected units that are not found to be within specifications. The retrofit involves the installation of a new LOWER TRIGGER HOUSING at no charge to the customer. Because of our proactive decision in this matter DSA, Inc., strongly recommends all customers with SA58 rifles purchased between the dates of July 1, 2008 to May 31, 2010 immediately return your SA58 rifle for a factory retrofit.
DO NOT LOAD OR FIRE YOUR SA58 RIFLE UNTIL INSPECTED AND CERTIFIED SAFE BY OUR FACTORY.
Furthermore, if you purchased from DSA, Inc., an aluminum LOWER TRIGGER HOUSING for the manufacture or assembly of your own FAL rifle between the dates of July 1, 2008 to May 31, 2010, you SHOULD NOT LOAD OR FIRE this rifle or firearm and IMMEDIATELY return the LOWER TRIGGER HOUSING for inspection and possible replacement at no charge to you. |
