The units affected were made between the 28th April and the 30th June and there are 604 units in the market that could be affected.

The raw material involved is used to make the aluminium axle boss on the Dragon Cam in size 6. DMM International has discovered that the components made out of this defective material can develop cracks and that these cracks can grow and propagate with time. This could cause the units to fail below their rated strength.

If you own a Dragon Cam 6 with a serial number listed above then you should immediately discontinue all use of this product.
