Is my product affected?

DBINLINE Rear Shock

  • Brand Cane Creek Cycling Components, Inc.; Fletcher, N.C.

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

What happened

Cane Creek is recalling DBINLINE bicycle rear shock absorbers because the adjustment markings for High Speed Rebound damping are reversed, showing plus and minus symbols in the opposite positions from where they should be. When riders follow these incorrect markings to adjust the shock, it causes unexpected suspension behavior that creates a fall hazard.

The affected shocks are black anodized aluminum marked with "INLINE" on the air can and have serial numbers in the ranges AA00002 - AA07304 or SA00077 - SA03926 printed on the underside of the top valve body. The shocks were sold both separately and as part of 2015 full-suspension mountain bikes from brands including Alutech, Banshee, Bianchi, Canyon, Ghost, Guerilla, Ibis, Intense, Knolly, Nicolai, Norco, Nukeproof, Orange, and Specialized. According to the record, consumers should immediately stop using the product and contact Cane Creek for a repair decal kit to correct the HSR adjustment markings.
