Colt Issues Safety Recall for AR-Type Rifles Made in 2021
Colt has issued a Recall for certain Colt AR-type rifles made in 2021. Here is the official Recall Notice:
COLT’S Manufacturing LLC (“Colt”) has recently discovered a potential safety issue with certain Modern Sporting Rifles (“MSRs”). Colt is voluntarily initiating a recall to protect the safety of its customers because, under certain conditions, it is possible that some of these MSRs may discharge a second round when the trigger is released when there is a live round in the chamber.
