Child bicycle trailers
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Burley Design is recalling seven models of child bicycle trailers manufactured between 2009 and 2015 because the black plastic tow bar receivers can separate from the tow bar while appearing to be connected, which could cause the trailer to detach from the bicycle and crash. The affected models are the Cub, D'Lite, D'Lite ST, Encore, Solo, and Solo ST, which can be identified by checking the serial number on a sticker in the rear cargo area behind the seat on the left inside frame bar. Trailers with aluminum tow bar receivers are not affected by this recall.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled trailers and contact Burley to receive a free safety strap kit with tools and installation instructions, plus a 20 percent discount coupon for any Burley accessory. If the black plastic tow bar receiver appears cracked or damaged, consumers should also request a free replacement tow bar receiver from Burley.
