What happened

SRAM Force Road Brake Caliper Sets produced until December 31, 2006 may have faulty mounting bolts that can break, potentially causing the brake caliper to detach from the bicycle's fork or frame. This defect could cause riders to lose control and fall. The affected brake calipers may be installed on bicycles from multiple manufacturers including Specialized, Trek, Fuji, Scott USA, Bianchi, Kuota, Orbea, Kestrel, Titus, and Sampson models. A date code embossed on the back of the brake caliper can help identify affected units.
