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.

-All competitors are required to work the event. Qualified replacements may be used as substitutes in worker assignments. However, workers must notify the Chief of Course prior to the substitution. Failure to comply or properly perform assigned duties will result in additional work assignments or disqualification, as executed by the organizers.
-Course workers must be on their feet at all times while cars are competing.
-While on course, all competition vehicles MUST BE identified by a car number and appropriate car class which must be visible from the timing and scoring area. Cars not meeting this requirement will not be allowed to leave the line.
-Upon successfully completing scrutineering inspection, the Scrutineer will provide a mark to be fixed to the exterior of the car for the duration of the event in a place visible to the Starter (upper left corner of the windshield is recommended). Cars must show the Scrutineer’s official mark or they will not be allowed to enter the course.
-Items that fail scrutineering inspection (eg. old helmets) may be impounded, and will be returned after the completion of the event.
-Regardless of the results of the scrutineering inspection, the entrant/owner is fully responsible for the safety and soundness of the vehicle and equipment, for full and complete disclosure of all modifications, and for properly classifying the vehicle.
-Cars will run in numerical order as determined at the Driver’s Meeting. For cars with two drivers there will be a minimum spacing of 5 minutes or 5 spaces.
-Cars must be presented to the starter in order and prior to starting time or forfeit that run (DNS). Exception: Drivers of cars with mechanical difficulty shall have 10 minutes after the car is scheduled to start, to present the car at the start line. Grid personnel will verify the mechanical difficulty, and will refer the request for a mechanical delay to the Chief Steward in cases where the competitor may gain an unfair advantage by delaying a run, for example changing weather conditions.
-Directional pylons (pylons which are laid on their side) are for informational purposes and do not count if hit. Directional pylons placed directly adjacent to a penalty pylon must be obeyed or a DNF will result. Directional pylons not adjacent to a penalty pylon are for informational purposes only and do not result in a DNF if not followed. If a directional pylon displaces a penalty pylon, the pylon penalty will be assessed.
-A penalty will be assessed for each displaced course entry and exit pylon. The course may be lined on both sides, weather permitting. Crossing a line incurs no penalty.
-All entrants are expected to be responsible for their own garbage. Please clean up before you leave the site.
-A speed limit of 20 Km/h will be enforced at the event site including pre-grid and grid. Tire spins, rapid speed or direction changes, or other “abnormal/unusual” driving techniques are strictly prohibited throughout the event site other than during competition.
-Children and pets are allowed anywhere on the event site EXCEPT during active competition. During active competition, children under 12 and pets are not allowed in the grid, staging and course areas. Pets must be leashed at all times.
-Drivers are responsible for the actions of their crew and guests. All must sign a waiver to be present in the pre-grid, grid, staging and course areas. Waiver forms will be available at registration.
