Rocky Mountain Recalls Bicycles with Front Disc Brakes to Replace Quick Release Lever Due to Crash Hazard

Is my product affected?

Rocky Mountain Bicycles

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Rocky Mountain is recalling all 2003 through 2016 model bicycles equipped with front disc brakes and a black or silver quick-release lever on the front wheel hub. The issue involves the front quick release lever, which when fully opened, can come into contact with the front disc brake assembly if there is less than 6 mm of space between them. This contact can cause the front wheel to suddenly stop or separate from the bicycle, creating a risk of injury to the rider.

Consumers who own affected bicycles should stop using them immediately and contact an authorized Rocky Mountain retailer. The company will provide free installation of a new quick release on the front wheel to resolve the hazard.

Details from the source

This recall involves all 2003 through 2016 models of Rocky Mountain bicycles equipped with front disc brakes and a black or silver quick-release (QR) lever on the front wheel hub. Bicycles that do not have disc brakes are not included in this recall. When the front QR is fully opened, if there is less than 6 mm -- or the width of a #2 pencil -- between the QR and disk brake rotor on the wheel, the bicycle is included in this recall.
