Is my product affected?

Evolution 2013 Mountain Bike Suspension Forks

  • Brand Fox Factory, of Watsonville, Calif.

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Fox Factory is recalling 2013 model year Evolution Series suspension forks (32 and 34 models with 120mm to 160mm of travel) because the damper cylinder and piston can separate, causing the front wheel to detach and creating a fall hazard. The recalled forks came as original equipment on 2013 mountain bikes from manufacturers including BMC, Cannondale, Commencal, Diamondback, GT, Kona, Lapierre, Norco, Orbea, Raleigh, Rocky Mountain, Santa Cruz, Scott, Specialized, and Trek, and some were also sold separately to retailers and distributors. You can identify a recalled fork by the Evolution name and logo on a sticker on the front fork, along with the FOX brand name, and by checking the serial number located on the underside of the crown after removing the front wheel.

Consumers should stop using bicycles with recalled Fox Factory suspension forks and bring them to the place of purchase for a free repair. If you cannot bring your bicycle or fork to the place of purchase, you can check your serial number at www.ridefox.com/ (see the link at the lower left of the page) or contact Fox for assistance in determining whether your fork is recalled and for instructions on returning it for the free repair.
