Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

BMC Switzerland is recalling about 840 model year 2018 and 2019 Teammachine SLR01 DISC performance road bicycles and framesets. The fork steerer tube on these bikes can crack or break during use, which can cause the rider to lose control and fall. There have been four reports of the fork steerer tube breaking, including one incident resulting in a shoulder injury that required hospitalization and surgery. These premium bikes were sold at authorized BMC dealers nationwide from July 2017 through October 2019 for between $4,500 and $12,500.

Risk

The fork steerer tube, which connects the handlebars to the front wheel, can suddenly crack or snap during operation. If this happens while riding, the rider can lose steering control, leading to a fall and serious physical injury.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop using the recalled Teammachine SLR01 DISC bicycle or frameset.
  2. Identify your bicycle by checking the underside of the bottom bracket for a serial number starting with '8R17' or '8R18', followed by one letter and a four-digit code.
  3. Check the downtube for the 'BMC' brand name and confirm the frame color is red, green, grey, graphite, blue, or aqua green.
  4. Contact your local BMC authorized dealer to schedule a free inspection; only bicycles and framesets with a specific 'FK6' fork require a replacement.
  5. If the dealer confirms your bike has the affected 'FK6' fork, you will receive a free replacement fork and installation.
  6. For more information, contact BMC USA toll-free at 888-262-7755 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, email slr01inspection-US@BMC-Switzerland.com, or visit www.BMC-Switzerland.com/teammachinerecall.
