Trek Madone 2013 Brake Failure

Product Safety Recalls Australia are advising that there is a risk the front brake attachment bolt on some Trek Madone models may detach, which may mean a lost of front braking; a pretty critical loss on a bicycle where the primary brake is the front brake.

Trek Madone 2013 Models Affected by the Recall

The recall only applies to some Trek Madone models in the 2013 model year product range. If your Trek Madone bicycles has one of the following model numbers, please take note: 5.2, 5.9, 6.2, 6.5, 7.7 or 7.9, and serial numbers ending with G or H (The products include Project One bicycles that are custom-ordered.)

Madone 5.9 (standard)

Madone 6.2 (standard and WSD)

Madone 6.5 (standard)

Madone 7.7 (standard)

Madone 7.9 (standard and WSD)

The model or series is identified on the bicycle frame. The serial number is located under the bottom bracket of the bicycle. Trek Bicycles Corporation has a listed of the serial numbers of the specifics bicycles available in PDF format and in an Excel spreadsheet. This is a great initiative by Trek as it makes it easy to check if your Trek Madone bike is affected by the recall. The recalled Trek Madone bicycles were sold in Australia between July 1, 2012 and December 12, 2013.

If you are an owner of one the Trek Madone models referred to above with a serial number ending in G or H, you should immediately stop using the bicycle.
