2008 model year Dahon and REI Novara Folding Bicycles
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Dahon and REI Novara folding bicycles from model year 2008 are being recalled because the hinge on the handlepost can crack, which creates a fall hazard for riders. The recall affects multiple Dahon models including the Ciao P8, Curve D3, Curve SL, Glide P8, Jetstream P8, Mu P8, Mu P24, MU SL, Mu XL Sport, Vitesse D7 HG, Speed D7, Speed P8, Speed TR, Speed Pro TT, and Mariner D7, as well as REI Novara Buzz FlyBy and FlyBy Shuttle models. However, some bicycles with specific markings are excluded: for most models, those with an "R" embossed on the upper handlepost hinge or a "Radius Handlepost" sticker are not included, while Jetstream P8 and Glide P8 models are excluded only if they have an "R" embossed twice on the lower handlepost hinge.
Consumers who own affected bicycles should immediately stop riding them and contact any Dahon California dealer or REI store for a free inspection and repair.
