Certain Niviuk IKS-3000 soft links, which are used as connecting elements on paragliders and rescue systems, may have a manufacturing defect. The defect affects the connection between the Dyneema core and the outer protective sheath. If the core can be moved within the sheath, the soft link must not be used any further and must be replaced.

Niviuk describes on its website how to inspect the affected IKS-3000 units and what to do if a defect is found. Please review the safety notice.
