What happened

SRAM LLC is recalling RockShox Domain 302 and 318 bicycle forks with steel steerers that were manufactured between March 2008 and October 2008. The steel steerer on these forks can crack, which may cause the fork to separate from the bicycle frame, potentially causing the rider to lose control and crash. The affected forks have date codes 09T8 through 42T8, which can be found on the back of the fork crown and on the lower leg. These forks were installed on Transition Bottle Rocket bicycles and may have been installed on Rocky Mountain Flatline 1, Rocky Mountain Slayer SS350, and Rocky Mountain Slayer SS396 bicycles.

According to the recall notice, consumers who have bicycles with these forks should stop using them immediately and contact their bicycle retailer for a free replacement fork.
