Suspension forks on FX and RX model recumbent bicycles
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
BikeE recumbent bicycles from the 2000 and 2001 model years are being recalled because link pins in the suspension forks can fall out, potentially causing riders to lose control, fall, and suffer serious injuries. The FX and RX models are affected, with FX models having recalled forks in the front suspension and RX models having them in the full suspension. Affected bicycles can be identified by their serial number, located below the crank bottom bracket on the frame; recalled models have serial numbers starting with "F" followed by five digits, or starting with "B" followed by one character and six digits.
Consumers should stop using these bicycles immediately. Since BikeE is out of business and cannot be contacted, consumers can take a recalled bicycle to the dealer from which it was purchased, though the dealer will decide whether repair is possible and whether a charge applies.
