Bicycles and Bicycle Components
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Multiple bicycle and bicycle component recalls have been announced due to safety hazards. Recumbent bicycles sold by RANS (including Stratus, Stratus XL, Gliss, Tailwind, Wave, Response, and Nimbus models, with certain serial number exceptions), Specialized Hemi 12-inch children's bicycles from 2001, Cannondale Carbon Lefty suspension forks made before May 31, Magura Gustav M hydraulic disc brakes with silver levers, and Supergo carbon fiber-wrapped aluminum handlebars and PAZZAZ bar ends are involved. These products pose risks of component failure—including steering tube breakage, frame cracking, fork breakage, brake failure, and handlebar cracking or detachment—which can cause riders to lose control, fall, and suffer injuries.
Affected consumers should take the following actions according to the record: Stop using recalled Hemi bicycles and return them to a Specialized dealer for a refund; stop using recalled Cannondale bicycles and return them to a Cannondale retailer for free fork rebuilding and upgrading; stop using bicycles with recalled Gustav M brakes and contact a Magura dealer for repair or a free brake upgrade kit; and stop using recalled handlebars and bar ends and obtain a refund or free replacement handlebar to be installed at Supergo stores.
