We are conducting a trigger upgrade on all Float packs sold into the marketplace during the 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 seasons. Please see the attached Safety Alert for details.
This trigger update includes the Float 30, 18, 36, 22, 32 and Throttle. The Float 30 with T-handle is not included. Owners of Float 30 packs with cone-shaped handles should contact us for instructions at warranty@backcountryaccess.com. The upgraded trigger assembly is standard on all 2013-2014 airbags and utilizes a hex crimp instead of an E-clip as a retention solution.
We have found on a very few number of packs that the E-clip, which holds the cable assembly together, can accidentally become dislodged while connecting or disconnecting the compressed air cylinder. If this happens, the pack may not deploy properly. While the probability of this occurring is extremely low, we believe it is best to replace the entire assembly. To order your Trigger Upgrade Kit please click here.
To order by e-mail, please contact info@backcountryaccess.com and provide your first name, last name, shipping address, and the model of pack you are upgrading. Once your order is placed, you will receive your upgrade kit within two weeks.
BCA’s mission is to save lives, not just sell products. Your safety—and your loyalty—are our top priorities. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to call or e-mail us directly.
Have a fun and safe winter season!

BCA - FLOAT TRIGGER VOLUNTARY RECALL
Dear BCA Float owner,
We will be conducting a voluntary trigger upgrade on all Float packs sold into the marketplace during
the 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 seasons. Please see the attached documents for details.
We have found on a very few number of packs that the E-clip that holds the cable assembly together
can accidentally become dislodged while connecting or disconnecting the compressed air cylinder. If
this happens, the pack may not deploy properly. While the probability of this occurring is extremely
low, we believe it is best to replace the entire assembly.
This trigger update includes the Float 30, 18, 36, 22, 32 and Throttle. The Float 30 with a large
T-handle is not included. Owners of Float 30 packs with small T-handles or Disc-Triggers should
contact us for instructions at 08000 323505. (Please see the Float 30 reference page for details.)
To order your Trigger Upgrade Kit please send a mail at info@anatom.co.uk Please provide your first
name, last name, shipping address, and the model of pack you are upgrading.
BCA’s mission is to save lives, not just sell products. Your safety—and your loyalty—are our top
priorities.
