IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL NOTICE
REGARDING COLT CBX BOLT-ACTION RIFLES

Colt’s Manufacturing Company LLC (“Colt”) has recently learned of a potential safety issue with its CBX bolt-action rifles. Both the CBX Precision and CBX Tac Hunter models are affected. Colt is voluntarily initiating a recall of these rifles because of the potential for an unintentional discharge of the rifle, without pulling the trigger, under certain conditions when the manual safety is disengaged.

 
TO PREVENT THE POSSIBILITY OF DEATH OR SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY, YOU SHOULD IMMEDIATELY STOP USING YOUR COLT CBX RIFLE AND RETURN IT TO COLT.

Colt has learned that, for some CBX rifles, if the trigger is pulled while the manual safety is engaged (in the “safe” position), the trigger may not fully reset. This could result in an unintentional discharge of the rifle when the manual safety is moved to the “fire” position, without a further pull of the trigger.
If you own a Colt CBX rifle, Colt urges you to visit www.coltcbx.com, for information about returning your rifle to Colt. You may also contact Colt Customer Service by email at cbxrecall@colt.com, or by telephone at 1-800-962-2658 weekdays from 9:00am to 4:00pm (Eastern) and select the CBX recall option at the main menu, about this recall campaign.

To safely unload your Colt CBX rifle, please follow the steps below (which can also be found in the CBX Owner’s Manual):

1.    While keeping the muzzle of your CBX rifle pointed in a safe direction, slide the manual safety button rearward to the “safe” position.

2.    Remove the magazine by pushing the magazine latch forward to release the magazine. Note: If the magazine does not drop freely, pull on the magazine base plate while pushing on the magazine catch until the magazine is free of the rifle .

3.    With your finger off the trigger and outside of the trigger guard, push down on the bolt release to unlock the bolt and then lift and pull the bolt fully rearward, this should extract and eject the round from the chamber.

4.    With the bolt open, both visually and physically (with your finger) inspect both the chamber and the magazine well of your CBX rifle to be sure that no ammunition remains in either place.

Colt values its relationship with you and sincerely apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause. Safety comes first.
