Looking for a list of old cam recalls. Recently inherited some gear (including 90's era aliens, small metolius cams, and BD cams). If anyone knows of a list I can check my serial numbers against, that would be amazing! 

And yes I will be reslinging them.

Have you contacted BD to ask them? Seens like that would be the first step.

Looked on the website but I'm a fan of that idea. Wasn't sure if there was some kind of master list I was missing.

I'll bet they have a phone number!

Are the BD cams the single-stem variety or the U-stem type?  Some of the U-stem have been known to crack.  

For the BD cams, I'd send them to BD to have them reslung.  If there is anything wrong with them, they will find it.  Metolius will also resling their cams for a pretty reasonable fee.  Not sure what to do with the Aliens.

Send the aliens to Mountain Tools. They do good work and the price is reasonable. If all are known to be out of recall SN's send them all to Mountain Tools.
