Joint recall with Health Canada, the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (US CPSC) and Trek Bicycle Corporation

Trek Bicycles Equipped with Front Disc Brakes and a Quick Release

Product description

This recall involves all models of Trek bicycles from years 2000 through 2015 equipped with front disc brakes and a black or silver quick release lever on the front wheel hub that opens far enough to contact the disc brake.

Bicycles with front quick release levers that do not open a full 180 degrees from the closed position are not included in this recall.

Hazard identified

When a quick release lever on the bicycle's front wheel hub is capable of opening more than 180 degrees, improperly adjusted or left open, it can come into contact with the front disc brake assembly causing the front wheel to come to a sudden stop or separate from the bicycle. This poses a crash and injury hazard.

Neither Health Canada nor Trek has received any reports of consumer incidents or injuries related to the use of these bicycles in Canada.

Trek Bicycle Corporation has received 3 reports of consumer incidents in the United States.
