C.A.M.P. has received a limited number of notifications concerning the failure of the spring mechanism that activates the closure of the gate on the Nimbus Lock carabiner. The reports of failure have been limited to batch numbers 10 23 and later. The issue is easily identified if the carabiner is opened completely and does not automatically return to its closed position. The spring mechanism will break and the gate will not return to its closed position in affected units. C.A.M.P. is in the process of implementing a corrective action for future production of Nimbus Lock carabiners. Until the corrective action is in place, the company is issuing a recall for inspection for all Nimbus Lock carabiners with batch numbers after 10 23. The batch numbers included are: 10 23, 11 23, 12 23, 02 24, 03 24, 04 24, 09 24, 10 24, 12 24, 01 25, 02 25, 06 25.
