BMC Recalls Bicycles Due to Fall Hazard

Is my product affected?

Timemachine 01 bicycles

  • Brand BMC Switzerland AG, of Switzerland
  • Brand BMC USA Corp., of San Diego, Calif.

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

What happened

BMC has recalled all model year 2017 and 2018 Timemachine 01 bicycles and model year 2018 Timemachine 01 framesets due to a fall hazard. The bikes, which are road bikes designed for triathlons and time trials, may have variations in tire dimension, tire pressure, headset play, and ride load that can result in insufficient space between the front wheel and downtube. The recalled bikes have "BMC" printed on the downtube and "Timemachine 01" in glossy black letters on the flat black top tube, and were sold in red, yellow, and black colors.

Consumers should immediately stop riding the recalled bicycles and contact their local BMC authorized dealer for a free inspection and, if needed, a free replacement fork. While replacement forks are being made available through September/October 2018, BMC is providing consumers with a free 23C replacement tire, if needed, to ensure adequate clearance between the wheel and downtube.
