The Coast Guard has issued a safety alert urging mariners and boaters to check their Mustang Survival PFDs.
Mustang Survival is voluntarily recalling all model number MD2010 and MD2012 inflatable PFDs sold in the United States during 2011. The recall is being issued for the inspection and repair of an inflator installation inconsistency that could prevent some units from fully inflating with CO2, although the oral inflation functions normally. Mustang Survival has developed a solution that corrects any affected product and prevents re-occurrence of this issue. The inspection and repair can only be performed at a Mustang Survival factory and consumers are urged to not return product to their dealers.
