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

What happened

Scott and Trek bicycles from 2011, 2012, and 2013 models equipped with certain SR Suntour front forks are being recalled because the front fork can break, which poses a crash hazard. The recall affects 13 Scott models with 700c wheels and disc brakes using NEX or NCX front forks, and 11 Trek models with disc brakes using NEX, NRX, XCM, or XCT front forks. You can identify a recalled bicycle by checking the model name and number on the frame, identifying the fork model name printed on the outer sides of the fork, and checking if the serial number (located under the bottom bracket) ends in F, G, or H.

Consumers should immediately stop using recalled bicycles. Scott owners should take their bicycles to an authorized Scott dealer for a free repair if they have a NEX model, or a free replacement lower fork if they have an NCX model. Trek owners should take their bicycles to an authorized Trek dealer for a free repair if they have a NEX, XCM, or XCT model, or a free replacement if they have an NRX model.
