405 recall?

Post by RonnieM »

Just saw where excalibur is having a recall on the 405. I am guessing the trigger. Bowtech didn't help with the building of these :shock:

Now, now let's not blame BowTech, they barely got there feet wet in this matter. Other than some inconvenience for their owners, it should make not only the Matrix 405, but all models safer and better.

just goin by the reply. maybe reading too deep but if the recall makes the 405 safer as well as the other models i gotta believe theres a change somewhere in design.

I have not heard of a recall for other models. From what I have read it is an issue with their heat treating process, or end result of that process that is isolated to "some" of the 405 trigger components. In my opinion, and I don't represent Excalibur in any way, they have determined the parts that are suspect, and have known to be good parts to swap out. That said, if this leads to a process change, or monitoring equipment that would improve their ability to make consistent parts in a tighter hardness range, then it improves everything going forward!
