Product Description

Certain Traxxas radio controlled model vehicles, replacement slipper or brake pad parts, or replacement part assemblies containing slipper or brake pads (e.g., complete transmission kits, slipper assemblies).

Why is the product being recalled?

The slipper pads in certain electric models and the brake pads in certain nitro fuel models contain small amounts of chrysotile asbestos. The importation of asbestos or goods containing asbestos into the EU is prohibited.

What are the hazards?

Risk type: The slipper or brake pads sold as parts or sold installed in the affected radio-controlled vehicles contain chrysotile asbestos. Asbestos fibres may be released from the slipper pad in the vehicle through friction and users may be exposed to asbestos fibres if the vehicle is disassembled for repair or maintenance.

Hazard: If asbestos fibres are released into the air and breathed in, they can cause serious medical conditions, including asbestosis, lung cancer and mesothelioma.

Product Details

Slipper pads are hard composite material pads that measure 14x6x2.5mm and weigh approximately 1 gram per set of 3. Nitro model brake pads are similar. The friction pads do not easily crumble or break apart and generate minimal dust from wear, and for all electric models are enclosed within a cover on the transmission assembly.

What should consumers do?

Consumers should not attempt to remove or replace the slipper or brake pads or disassemble the slipper assembly in affected vehicles. Consumers should stop using affected nitro powered (non-electric) vehicles.
