  • Brand Fox Factory, Watsonville, Calif.

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

What happened

Fox Factory is recalling FLOAT X2 rear shock absorbers for mountain bikes because the outer sleeve can rupture, potentially allowing contact with other bike parts or the rider and creating a fall and injury hazard. The recall affects all model year 2016 and some 2017 FLOAT X2 shocks sold individually or installed on full-suspension mountain bikes from brands including YT, Giant, Pivot, Intense, Ibis, Scott, Trek, GT, Knolly, Norco, Rocky Mountain, Diamondback, Morpheus, Foes Racing, Orbea, and Canyon. Recalled shocks are solid black or black and gold with "FLOAT X2" printed on the external reservoir and do not have a "250 psi max" label directly under the air fill boss on the outer sleeve.

Consumers who have a recalled shock should immediately stop using their bicycle and return it to the place of purchase for a free repair. Consumers unable to return their bike to the retailer should contact Fox for instructions on receiving a free repair. Consumers can identify whether their shock is recalled at http://ridefox.com/recall.
