Dear Consumer


As you may already be aware, we recently withdrew our Vango Killington 600 & 900 tents from circulation, to ensure that our commitment to producing the highest quality products was not compromised.


This 2007 model was found to have a production problem that could allow water ingress at the anchor points on the flysheet.


Following this recall, we would now like to update consumers who are eagerly awaiting the re-introduction of the Killington as to what the current situation is.


Initially it was our intention to repair the fault and re-introduce the tents at the end of July 2007. However we have now decided to replace the 2007 model with the 2008 model, which has many new features and benefits.


The 2008 version will be available from December 2007.


For any customers not wishing to wait until December 2007, Vango would recommend the Diablo 600XP or Diablo 900XP as a suitable replacement.


If you have a Killington tent and have not experienced water ingress at the anchor point, then the likelihood is that your tent is not one of the faulty batch.


However, if you have any concerns regarding the performance of your Killington tent, then please do not hesitate to contact your retailer who is authorised to offer a replacement or similar tent of the relevant size.


The Killington 400 and all other Vango models are unaffected. If you require any further clarification, or are unsure of what to do next, please e-mail aftersales at amg-group.co.uk
