4/28/17
TO: All Corbeau USA, LLC Dealers, and Consumers
FROM: Corbeau USA, LLC, Bluffdale, UT, USA
Corbeau USA, LLC has recently discovered a potential safety issue with its 5-Point
Camlock Harness Belts. We have reason to believe that on a small percentage of belts,
the right lap insert tab had the hole drilled off center by a 1/16th of an inch, causing the
lock pin inside the camlock dial to not lock properly. This could potentially cause the right
lap belt to come unlocked from the camlock dial under minimal stress.
Corbeau USA, LLC is voluntarily recalling 5-Point camlock harness belts with part numbers
53001B, 53007B, and 53009B purchased between 4/01/16 and 4/24/17. These would
have stamp dates between May 2016 and May 2017. In other words, all belts with SFI
stamp dates from May 2016 to June 2017 are being recalled. This does not include any
belts purchased after 4/24/17. We are certain this only applies to a very small percentage
of these belts but at the same time also want to be certain that all belts in the field are
free from this defect. The problem was found during testing with the SFI foundation. This
recall ONLY applies to 5-Point camlock harness belts. While we are certain this only
applies to a small percentage of belts, we ask that you please contact us immediately to
return your belts so there are no doubts that your belts are free from defect.
STOP using your 5-Point camlock harness belt immediately and call Corbeau customer
service at 801-255-3737 or email info@corbeau.com to receive a return authorization
number for your harness belt. We will need to know when and where your harness belt
was purchased and how much you paid. Corbeau USA, LLC will pay to have your belt
returned and it will either be fixed or a new belt will be sent out immediately. All shipping
costs will be handled by Corbeau USA, LLC. Please call customer service at 801-255-3737
should you have any questions or concerns.
Corbeau 5-Point camlock harness belts purchased and or sold between 3/1/16 and
4/24/17 need to be returned for inspection immediately. If you have not already spoken
with a representative from Corbeau USA, LLC, please call us immediately at 801-255-
3737 to review how many belts you sold and how to best inform your customers. We are
happy to call customers direct to inform them of the recall process.

Hi All
Just a friendly note about the up coming tech schedule , I will come to the race track on May
22,2017 to tech cars if there will be at least six to do , I will be there from 1pm till 4:30 ish depending
on how many cars are out. Please email JIMS@EASTLINK.CA or RACE@ARMSINC.CA to let me
know your intentions.
I will also be doing tech on MAY 27,2017 from 10:00 am till 4:30 pm at the race track as well.
Annual Tech will NOT!!! be offered on race days with out prior contact for notification .
It is just to busy on race days and I am only one person.
Please find attached properly completed copies of the tech forms for examples ( no my car isn`t
coming out lol) . Look at your gear and check the dates of belts , helmets , etc. and look your car
over. If you are not confident to look at your own car get who ever preps it for you to fill the form ,it
can be completed online for the most part then just tic off the boxes and write in a few details.
Here are the links to the forms http://www.armsinc.ca/documents/race/rules/2016%20Tech
%20Inspection%20Form%20Car.pdf , http://www.armsinc.ca/documents/race/rules/2016%20Tech
%20Inspection%20Form%20Driver.pdf .
Attached also are the Supps for this event the online registration forms are still being touched up
but should be completed by the first of the week. Don`t mind the math error in them. The first person
to find it gets a hamburger on me at the food cart.
You will notice some things missing from the Supps like the black flag rule for example it has been
corrected in the GCRS .
On another safety note I wad talking to my local fire extinguisher supplier Foster`s in Waterville
they think can can service just about any on board system in some way , so if you have an on board try
them they maybe able to help.
Don`t forget to get your licence paper work going so pidge isn`t walled with stuff the end of next
week it makes him grumpy .
Thanks for now your race director
James E Whitman
