Spyre and Spyre SLC dual-piston mechanical disc brake calipers
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Tektro USA and TRP are recalling Spyre and Spyre SLC mechanical disc brake calipers sold in 2013. The brake cable actuator arm on these calipers can over-rotate, causing internal parts to dislocate and the brake system to fail completely. A complete brake failure results in loss of control and creates a crash hazard that could cause serious injury to riders and others.
The recalled calipers can be identified by their fastening screw with a hollow six-pointed star-shaped head with no markings and a 3-millimeter pad adjust screw on the outward side. Spyre calipers have a black anodized body with a silver actuator arm labeled "Spyre," while Spyre SLC calipers have a polished aluminum body with a black composite actuator arm labeled "Spyre SLC." These calipers were sold as replacement parts and as original equipment on bicycles from BTI, Diamond Back Bicycles, Giant Bicycles, Hans Johnson Co, Kona, Marin Bikes, Quality Bicycle Products, Raleigh America Inc., and Volagi Cycles. Affected consumers should immediately stop riding bikes with these calipers and return them to the original place of purchase or to Tektro USA/TRP for a free replacement.
