Hey folks just had a email show up in my junk folder from trigger tech. There is a voluntary recall-

In keeping with TriggerTech’s commitment to safety we are conducting a voluntary recall in response to a condition we identified with triggers that utilized carbide rollers “Carbide Triggers.” This recall applies to all Carbide Triggers which were manufactured between June 5, 2015 and July 28, 2016.

In one recent case, a carbide roller cracked and remained intact in a Rem 700 Carbide Trigger for approximately 2,000 rounds. The cracked carbide roller caused accelerated and unusual wear. A gradual reduction in pull weight was observed and the trigger eventually got to the point where the rifle, with the safety off, could discharge without trigger activation. In TriggerTech’s spirit to always do the right thing, TriggerTech is voluntarily recalling all Carbide Triggers.

This voluntary recall involves REM 700 Carbide Triggers, AR15 Carbide Triggers, and Excalibur, Mission, Killer Instinct and Parker Crossbow Carbide Triggers. Carbide Triggers can be identified by their serial number or date code. The serial number/date code can be found on the side of the Rem 700 triggers, and on the bottom of the AR15, Killer Instinct, Excalibur, Mission, and Parker triggers.

By the end of July 2016, TriggerTech transitioned to 100% stainless steel roller production. This was done in response to reports of cracking carbide rollers in crossbow triggers that did not pose safety concerns. Stainless steel rollers are significantly stronger and more impact resistant than carbide rollers and TriggerTech has determined that stainless steel rollers will not exhibit the same potential cracking issue as carbide rollers.

Our sales records indicate that you purchased AR15: 1 from TriggerTech around the time of Carbide Trigger production. and your trigger MAY fall within the scope of this Voluntary Recall. More details, FAQs and a Carbide Trigger Identification Guide can be found at safety.triggertech.com. Our online tool can be used to determine if your TriggerTech trigger is a Carbide Trigger and to guide you through the recall process.

TriggerTech will correct any and all potential conditions at no cost to the consumer as part of our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. TriggerTech will also be providing affected end consumers with a 20% off promo code to the TriggerTech Webstore.

Regards,

I had a soft firing trigger unit from them earlier this year, and they sorted it really promptly. A good company with a product they will stand behind. Shame about the recall, but I am sure they will handle it well.

Candocad.
 
The hand engraved serial number was a bit tricky to read. Couldn't tell if one of the characters was a D or an O but either option came up negative for the recall.
 
There's a page on the TriggerTech website that has visual cues to check for whether the recall applies. The serial number on some triggers requires trigger removal. htt ps://safety.triggertech.com/downloads/Carbide-Trigger-Identification-Guide.pdf Mine is luckily not subject to recall.

Finally gotten around to disassemble and my trigger is not part of the safety notice. What I did though was still submit my SN info to Triggertech, who knows they may send me a coupon for 20% off :)
 
Guess I am safe as the serial number pattern only go from A* to BB, BC etc... but what the hack is this?

PI???? BI???? DI????? May be like some proper laser print it for an item that cost like $200...

HA! At least you can see yours! I have to tilt mine all kinds of sideways into the light to catch the reflection of the serial number and couldn't tell if it was a "D" or flattened "0" or "O".

Hey Chef, did you check yours yet? If I remember correctly I got mine the same week you received yours, around Christmas 2015.
