10-Speed SRAM Bicycle Chains with PowerLock connector links
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
SRAM is recalling PowerLock connector links used on bicycle chains because they are brittle and can crack, causing the chain to separate from the bicycle and potentially causing the rider to fall. The recalled PowerLock connector links are identified by a date code of M or N on the side of the connector. These connectors were sold individually and on 10-speed chains (models PC-1030, PC-1050, PC-1070, PC-1090, and PC-1090R) from January through August 2009, and were also installed as original equipment on some Guru, Surly, Salsa, BMC, Serotta, Seven, and Ridley brand bicycles sold from April through August 2009.
Consumers who have affected products should immediately stop using the recalled PowerLock connectors, chains, and bicycles containing these connectors. According to the recall notice, consumers should contact their SRAM retailer for a free replacement PowerLock connector link.
