What happened

The air cartridge in these forks can suddenly spring out of the stanchion tube, which poses a risk of falls and injuries to riders. The recalled forks are black with "ÖHLINS" in gold lettering on the fork lowers and have "RXF36" or "RXF34" printed on the fork arch. RXF36 Coil Forks are not affected by this recall.
