The complete, yes you read that right, range of Mercedes-Benz bicycles have been recalled by Product Safety Recalls Australia in-cooperation with Mercedes-Benz Australia/Pacific Pty Ltd due to a missing cautionary label, well not just a missing label but not a lot more than that. It seems the good folk at Mercedes-Benz might be able to build cars but they cannot, it seems exactly skilled at assembling bicycles.



Mercedes-Benz Poor Bicycle Assembly Skills

Product Safety Recalls Australia are advising that all models of Mercedes-Benz bicycles sold in Australia are missing the cautionary label regarding handlebar misalignment, that the brake lever connections are reversed (i.e., the back brake is connected to the right brake lever and the front brake is connected to the left lever and whoops you may not stop to well) and the bicycles were not supplied with reflectors (you know those dorky things on the wheels you remove … seriously grounds for a recall?

I am assuming that the real issue of concern is the brake levers which for a more experienced bicycle rider may result in the grabbing of the rear brake instead of the front one.

All Mercedes-Benz bicycle models are affected by the recall. The part numbers (such a car industry approach) are:

B66450043

B66450044

B66450045

B67876176-6178

B66450046-0048

B66450049-0051

B66450023-0025

B66450015-0017
