What happened

RockShox, Inc. is recalling approximately 21,000 fork crowns on its 1992 Mag 20 and Mag 30 mountain bike suspension forks due to a defect that may cause the crowns to crack, potentially leading to loss of control and falls. The affected forks have a bright nickel finish with a "ROCKSHOX/MAGNESIUM" decal and serial numbers ranging from 27266 through 158841. These forks were sold both as original equipment on bicycles and as aftermarket upgrades priced between $330 and $390 through bicycle retail outlets worldwide. RockShox has received two reports of incidents involving minor injuries, though serious injury is possible.

Consumers who own recalled forks should stop using them immediately and contact RockShox at (800) 694-0668 to confirm whether their fork is affected by checking the serial number on the left inside of the fork. If the fork crown is involved in the recall, RockShox will provide free replacement and a UPS shipping authorization to send the defective crown in for replacement at no charge.
